Mid-Week Activities centered around...
Faith
Moroni's
Promise - Activities that encourage youth to read the Book of
Mormon and test Moroni's Promise in six months.
With our young women we bought enough small rugs for
everyone. Then we bought a bunch of paint (different colors). We also
brought some letter stencils. On the rug we all wrote Prayer on the rugs. We
did this so that the girls would be able to remember to say their prayers
morning and night. (Idea by Meghan / ga04202008)

Make scripture jars - Use a quart jar. Have the girls cut
up the following
scriptures and fold them up and put them in a jar. You can
decorate the jar if you want to. The idea is to read a scripture in
the morning before getting out of bed and one before getting into bed.
Faith games - Play these games 1) knot game, 2)
falling back into people’s arms, 3) blind leading, etc. Liken the games to
faith. You have to have faith to trust in one another, and especially the
Lord to accomplish your task. Talk and let the girls discuss how each game
applies to faith. End with a testimony meeting.
Memorized Hymns - Get the young women together
and make a game out of learning hymns. Have memorization games and fun ways
to learn the song so they will always remember the words to use them in a
hard situation.
Family Home Evening Kit -
Could include a flannel board and stories from the Friend magazine. Copy
onto white cardstock or laminate.
Book of
Mormon Read-a-thon
FHE Recipe Book - Make a Family Home
Evening treats recipe book. Fill it with quick and easy treat recipes and
have some samples of them made up for tasting.
Scripture Charades - Cards are written up
before the activity begins. Each card has some type of scripture story or
reference written on it. There are two teams and the girls on the teams
take turns acting out the stories for the other girls on their team.
Stories could be: Ammon, the missionary; Noah and the Ark; Adam and Eve;
Cain and Abel; King Noah and Abinadi; Samuel the Lamanite, etc.
Rope Course - The youth are all blindfolded and
paired off. They are taken by leaders out of the church and guided to the
starting point of the course and given the end of a rope. One partner holds
to the rope with one hand and to his/her partner with the other hand. The
main rope leads around the church grounds and back to the entrance.
However, other ropes with dead ends are also attached to the main rope.
After all the youth make it back discuss the experience and its relationship
to our life, faith and the iron rod.
Getting to Know the Bishop - The Sunday before
the activity have a lesson on the Priesthood. Ask the young women to write
down any questions they would like to ask the Bishop. On Mutual night they
meet with the Bishop in his office, if possible, and their written questions
are given to him to answer.

Get to Know the Bishopric - Invite the
Bishopric members (including the executive secretary) and their wives to an
activity where the young women can ask questions, play games, etc. and serve
them a treat.
Temple Marriage Night - Ask a panel of 7
couples, married for 2-40 years, to bring pictures of temples and wedding
albums, tell how they met, and answer a list of questions prepared by the
young women in advance and other questions from the young women.
Scripture Basketball
Book of Mormon Movie Making Activity
Spoon Party
Scripture Treasure Hunt
Missionary Moments - Watch the movie, "Called to Serve".
Have each girl write their testimony in the front cover of a Book of Mormon.
Challenge them to give them away or donate them to the local missionaries.
Faith
Factor
Falling Asleep with the Scriptures
- Pillowcases that you can make with a pocket for scriptures to remind you
to read daily.
A test of faith
Get an inexpensive copy of the Book of
Mormon, and give everyone ten or so pages to read. That way, together you
can read the entire Book of Mormon in one night. Discuss what you read.
Conference Talk Bingo - (Credit Unknown) We used premade blank
bingo cards that the girls filled in. We asked them to fill each box
in with a word that reminded them of faith. Then, two leaders read a
conference talk on faith to the girls and they covered the words as they
were read with Skittles. With each bingo they got a candy bar, with
each blackout a large Hershey bar.
Baptisms for the Dead - Make sure your girls understand and
appreciate the experience of doing baptisms for the dead before they
actually go to the temple. It will be a lot more meaningful and
memorable if the ordinance is appreciated.
Candle Dipping -
When candle makers dip candles, the first dips are not very noticeable.
But each dip of the candle holds more wax and slowly a candle emerges and
takes shape. So it is with our faith. It is strengthened by
action. Dip candles together.
