Anchors of Testimony
We did this at Youth Conference in June 2008. We combined 2 talks-“Good, Better & Best” and “Anchors of Testimony”. I started with “Good, Better, & Best”. A trip to Lake Powell was discussed and how the house boat was occasionally anchored from the front of the boat and latched behind a rock (good), other times it had the front…
Gospel Treasure Hunt

Tell the youth that you have hidden treasures around the building and that they will be allowed to look for them (he building and grounds MUST be as dark as possible) and that they have 15 minutes to do so. When the 15…
Missionary Passport

Using a large exercise ball (we used 65cm), we played soccer. We played two-touch soccer, where you can only tough the ball two times before…
The Books of the Book of Mormon Scavenger Hunt
This is a scavenger hunt that leads the participants from one place to another to find the books of the Book of Mormon in order, and have them read one significant scripture from each. We did this with our Young Women, and they were really into it. We came up with this as a way to promote memorizing the books…
Glow in the dark volleyball
We purchased glow in the dark bracelets and necklaces for this activity. The youth wore the bracelets to distinguish one person from another. Across the top of the volleyball net we continuously hooked the necklaces together. It took about 20 to go across one net. We purchased the bracelets from illuminationz.com. They were very reasonable. Since we only needed 20…
