Articles of Faith

This activity completed 2 requirements. Preparing For Young Women - After studying the thirteenth article of faith, make a list of things that are uplifting and virtuous. Discuss with a parent or leader how you can seek after these things. AND Serving Others: Read the twelfth article of faith. Discuss what it means to be a good citizen and how your actions can affect others. 

For this activity we made Article of Faith Cards for each girl to use as a study aid to memorize the 13 Articles of Faith which is also a requirement for the Faith in God Award. Each Article of Faith had an acronym to also help them study. The girls cut out the articles of faith and glued them onto a cute card stock then out them on a ring to keep them together. After making their cards we read the twelfth and thirteenth articles of Faith and discussed them.

Developing Talents - Healthy Lifestyles

This activity filled the requirement for Developing Talents - Learn about and practice good nutrition, good health, and good grooming, including modest dress.

We talked about how daily choices affect our health. A big duffel bag was filled with items that effect their healthy lifestyle. The bag was filled with items such as a Pillow, Blanket, Water, Deodorant, Granola Bars, Basketball, Tennis Shoes, Toothpaste, Body wash, and scriptures. The girls took turns pulling an item out of the bag and discussing its importance. After that we made an Ice Cream Sundae with each topping being a healthy lifestyle choice. After all the good toppings: banana, ice cream, caramel, chocolate, and whip cream; negative lifestyle choices were added to the sundae: dirt, Kitty Litter, mustard. We ended the activity with making GOOD healthy lifestyle Sundae's.
