Lucky for me, in my calling at church, I have FABULOUS leaders that I get to work with. They help come up with the BEST activities for the girls to do on Tuesday nights. Since I always find myself surfing around the web for new ideas…I thought I would post a few of mine here, for others to use! {That’s the beauty of the web, right? Sharing ideas??}
One night we made these rosette flowers:

They are quite easy actually and just take some trial and error. I got the tutorial from Little Birdie Secrets. I rounded up all different scraps of fabric and the girls had a ball making headbands with them. Cute, cute!
Last week we had a ‘Tricks in a Bag’ night. We used the term ‘tricks’ because we thought that the actual term of ‘Skits in a Bag’, might turn some girls off. Hehe…We’re sneaky like that 🙂 Happy to say that ALL of the girls participated AND had fun. The general idea of this activity is to break the girls up into teams {we had about 4-5 in each group}….hand them a bag with 5 random props in it {ours had everything from a scooter to a cat mask…} then assign each group a YW VALUE and have them come up with a skit based around THAT value. Then…we preform them all at the end for everyone. We all got quite a kick out of it!
A couple weeks before that, we combined the Mia Maids and Laurels and did a ‘Temple Time Capsule’ night and let me tell you…thanks to my cute counselor Dorie and my cute advisor Lisa…it was a HUGE success! The ‘jist’ of the idea can be found HERE. Other things we added were: pictures of the dress they wanted to wear, pictures of their ‘dream’ wedding ring, a letter written to them from our Bishop, a letter to their future spouse, baby names they’d like to use…. It was FUN!
Next week…we are doing a ‘Mother Daughter Spa Night’. Still in the preparing stages of this but can’t wait to share some details soon. For now….here are the invitations I passed out over the weekend:
Get it? It’s a bottle of nail polish? {Wink, wink!}
