We just had our Stake Activity Day last week
and A Pocket Full of Testimonies was our theme.
We divided the girls into 4 groups:
1- Learn/Live the Gospel -
(Name That Hymn) game
2- Prepare For Young Women -
We had some Laurels come and talk to the girls about how to prepare
and what to expect when they go into Young Women's.
3- Articles of Faith -
Concentration game. We mixed up parts of the articles and they
had to match and memorize as a team in order to get a point.
4- Developing Talents -
(craft) The girls decorated a denim pocket with a strap made
from the side seam or they could put heavy duty magnets on the
back. This was so they could put them in their lockers or hang them
up. They decorated with puff paints and craft foam pieces. They
really had fun and the pockets turned out really cute.
Because of time, the girls were encouraged to
go home and write their testimonies on a piece of paper and put in
the pocket they made. After the groups had all rotated
through, we had a couple who had just returned from their mission,
talk to the girls about their testimonies. The full activity
took about an hour and 20 minutes.
