Activity Days

I'm the activity day leader for our ward and I LOVE it!  It's been lots of fun.  I especially love that I get to be with my girls.  These are a couple of the activities we did in November and December.  In December we made "Service Snowflakes" with the idea that the girls would perform an act of service and leave these service snowflakes around their homes, encouraging the person who finds it to perform another act of service for someone else.  We had a short discussion about the importance of service before we assembled them.  I purchased the ribbon and snowflakes at Hobby Lobby and made up the poem to go along. 

In November we made Gratitude Journals.  We had a lesson on gratitude before we made them.  I encouraged the girls to write down 3 things they were grateful for everyday.  My friend Staci made the pink one.  She gave one to each of our friends at the end of law school.   It's always fun to write in, but also so meaningful to look back at the many blessings I have been grateful for the past 6 1/2 years.  I bought composition books from the dollar store, but later found nicer ones at Wal-Mart for a few cents cheaper.  I'll have to remember that for next time.  We covered them and then I made a page for instructions for them to place in the front of the book.
