YW Camp Ideas with 2011 Theme “we believe”
Here are some ideas we came up with for this years theme for girls camp. It turns out the girls came up with another one “seek your eternal reward” with pirate/nautical activities but I thought i’d share these incase someone else wants to use them. Pioneer Theme Scripture: Exodus 19:8 All the Lord has spoken we will do Song: “The…
Funny TV Commercials – Mutual Activity
This is such a fun activity for a Combined YM/YW Mutual night. I got the idea from SugarDoodle and took it a step further… I created some images that I could glue to items, told the youth they had to come up with a 30sec. – 1min. commercial to help sell the item, then video taped each one, watching them…
JELLO Festival

So today for scripture mastery, I passed out a sheet of 25 picture representations for each of the 25 scripture mastery scriptures. I gave the students five minutes to write out all of the references they could figure out for each picture representation. For the second set of five minutes I let them use their scriptures to fill in any…
The Importance of Following Directions
Then to give a break from the reading (and to rouse the sleepy-headed students), I passed out a “3-Minute Test.” This was a quick little quiz to test “obedience” and precision to directions. You can easily make your own. Start off by announcing that they are to read through the entire test before doing anything. But then have a series…
Re-Enactment of the First Relief Society Meeting
Heather from Women in the Scriptures has posted the following fantastic script based on the original minutes of the very first Relief Society meeting. It’s the most historically accurate script out there if you’d like to re-enact the events on the day the Relief Society was organized. Heather has posted lots of pictures of the reenactment on her blog, so…
