This activity completed 2 requirements - Developing Talents #7: List five things you can do to help around your home. Discuss the importance of obeying and honoring your parents and learning how to work. AND Preparing for Young Womens #5: Read “The Family: A Proclamation to the World.” Make a list of things you can do to help strengthen your family and make a happy home. Share the list with your parents or Primary leader.
Each girl was given a copy of The Family Proclamation and a highlighter. As they read The Proclamation they highlighted what stood out to them. Once done reading we made banners for them to hang in their rooms so they could remember what they learned. I couldn't get the picture of the banner to turn the right way so til your head. ;) The top section of the banner was what stood out to them from The family Proclamation and the lower half was what they could do to help strengthen their family to make it a happy home.
I had a bunch of cute double sided paper cut into 3x6 rectangles so they could fold the top over the string and glue the flap down. this also made the top section and lower section different patterns.We had Skittles as a treat while they made their Banners. I likened Skittles to our families. We are all different in our own way like each color of skittle tastes different, but when you eat every color of skittle together, the flavor is better. Just like a family is better together.
Materials Needed:
5 - 3x6 sized double sided paper for each girl
Family Proclamation for each girl
Markers/Highlighters/Pens
Glue Sticks
String or ribbon
Skittles - optional
