Aimee Proc with Watermark-01With the Visiting Teaching message for the month of February being on Marriage, it also references The Family:  A Proclamation to the World in the message. I thought this week I would simply share the document that I hand-lettered (every.single.word.) a few years back and it’s available in my Etsy shop.  Click here to view.

Big Family Hug,

Fun Family History Activity for Young Men & Young Women Joint Activity or for F.H.E.

The Church is really focusing member’s attention on Family History, and Sugardoodle is here to HELP!

A few months ago Melanie and I were invited to be part of the 2016 Rootstech Family Discovery Day. Our task was to come up with a super fun activity that the youth would love AND that would create some excitement about searching for the deceased.  We came up with a “Find-A-Grave” hunt.  The hunt was so successful that we had lots of youth leaders and stake family history experts stop and ask us for our handout so they could take the activity back to their youth groups, wards and families.

We decided to post the activity and worksheet here on our blog along with a few pointers on how you can do a similar activity.

FIND-A-GRAVE HUNT…

Give everyone who will be participating the Find-A-Grave hunt a worksheet.  Explain that this is a timed activity. They will need to go onto Find-A-Grave.com and search for each name on their worksheet.  They then record the date they died, what invention they created and one simple fact {for instance where they were buried}. Whoever finishes first is the winner.

VARIATIONS:

~ You can do this as teams, sharing cell phones at your ward building or home.

~You can do this as a scavenger hunt where you divide the youth into groups and as a team they drive with a leader to a designated house in the ward. There they hunt online for 3 of the graves. They then drive to another designated house and search for the other 3 graves. First team back to the chapel wins! *This is fun to include other families in your ward in the hunt when you use their computers. It’s a great way to get you ward family involved.

We would love to hear what fun things you have done to foster a love for Family History in your ward and family so we can post them on our blog.  Please email us at april.sugardoodle@gmail.com

xo, April

 

Add a little super power to your Scripture Study

Sometimes scripture study needs a little boost. What better way to keep kids on track with their scripture goals this a simple printable…chock-full of scripture power?

MeckMom Super Suckers 3

Bold, bright and easy to assemble, they’re the perfect addition to your next Primary sharing/singing/class time or as a sweet incentive in your family scripture study. But don’t take our word for it. Check out the latest review from Mary, a Primary Chorister in Heber, Utah…

“These were a BIG hit in my singing time/scripture chase activity! The kids thought they were SO cool and such a fun way to reinforce the theme of the year! I was afraid they’d be time-consuming to construct, but they were very easy to cut and looked awesome without much effort! I’d totally make them again!”

The super suckers come in two sets: red, green, blue, yellow or pink, purple, aqua, yellow. You can find them in the Sugardoodle Shop for only $3.50 each.

“Love One Another” Valentine printable

AFLoveOneAnother2

It’s Valentine’s Day this Sunday.  Want a fun printable to spread some love to a next door neighbor?  How about for a sister in the ward you visit?  Maybe a friend could benefit from you giving a little heart and a gospel message?  Or maybe it’s the family that could use a gentle reminder to love each other as the Savior has loved each one of us?  It’s my  first hand-painted and hand-lettered original, available in a digital download exclusive to the SugarDoodleShop. You can click HERE for purchase.

Note**** The printables I offer are to be printed on 8-1/2 X 11″ digital color print cardstock for best results and fit nicely in the “document” size frames, NOT an 8 X 10 frame.  Document size frames are widely available at craft or office supply stores, discount department stores, dollar stores and even my fave:  IKEA, if you are lucky to have one nearby!
