Book of Mormon Olympics – Quarterly Activity
Activities: 1. Samuel the Lamanite: skittles placed on a wall (we used the steps from the stage), how many can you knock down with three throws? 2. Anti-Nephi-Lehi’s: a small sandpit with little pick-up-sticks swords buried, how many can you find in one minute? 3. Lehi’s Journey: blowing a ball with a straw from one point to another (like travelling…
Scripture Basketball
Divide the youth into 2 teams, each facing the other in chairs on the keylines of the gym floor (we had enough for 4 teams and used both ends of the gym) Tthe teams are given a clue to a scripture and told to begin (seminary students rock at this game, try to divide them up evenly between teams) As…
M&M Get-To-Know You Game
Pass around a bowl of M&M’s and say they can take as many as they want. But the catch is that they have to tell you something about themselves for every candy they take! ‘Course, you don’t tell them that until everyone has taken their candy. 🙂

Each team was given a time sheet to record their score…

Service Project~for less active members
We made “School Survival Kits” for all of our less active girls (5 out of 6 are less active in our ward) and took them over to them. Included was a welcome letter from me sharing my testimony of the young women’s program and how I feel about working with each of these girls, an invitation to an upcoming “Get-to-know-you-party,”…
Back to School Mutual
I just wanted to share about our activity last night. Our girls started school this week and we wanted to do a Back to School Night. So my counselors and I decided to do mini-classes and change rooms throughout the building. That way our girls would stay a little more focused and listen rather then getting tired of sitting in…
