Give each girl a small polished stone (they sell them in small bundles in netting at Wal-mart).  Attach the following quote: "Each day slowly shapes our lives, as dripping water shapes the stone."  Ask them to think about this... each day, when we eat the right things and give our bodies exercise, it will make us strong, just like this stone.

Celebrate the gift of the body (from BYU Women's Conference)
Encourage Healthy Eating Habits (from BYU Women's Conference)

I did this lesson last week and in the beginning had the girls write down everything they ate the day before. At the end we shared what we ate and it went over pretty well. I made trail mix for the girls and gave a handout with the scripture from Corinthians.   (Idea by Cindy Wright)

I started out with bringing a gift that I had received from my sister and told the girls how important it as to me and how I looked after it etc, etc - then said we are going to learn how to care for a gift that we have received - I then went into the lesson - if I had planned better I would have asked one or two girls to bring something precious to them and tell why and how they looked after it.  I used a few quotes from the talk from www.lds.org in the resource section by Diane Spangler.  For the handout I used a gingerbread man template (Click here for copy of handout) that I got off the internet, put some quotes inside it from the talk and printed it out on cardboard. I then threaded toothpicks through either hand and put marshmallows on them to look like dumbbells - really easy and cute.  A scripture that I used that wasn't in the manual but I got from one of the resource talks was 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - especially liked v.20.  (Idea by Jacqueline Jennings / ga10162007)
