Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/06/fathers-day-pie-day.html We recently we had our 2nd annual Pies for Fathers Day – just like last year, it was a big success, and I think we will continue this tradition for a while! Instead of passing out a candy bar or something like that at the end of Sacrament meeting, our ward does something a little different. On the Saturday before Fathers Day, each of the classes met…

Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/08/1-3-peter-the-gospel-truth-is-gnot-a-secret/ I had the title song for “Mission Impossible” (an appropriate version) playing in the background as student entered class. It would be fun to dress in a way that fits the lesson, but I did not have that much forethought… There were TOP SECRET folders on each desk when the students came in (Except for […]
Downloaded from: http://brosimonsays.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/2-peter-1-3-ladder-day-saints/ We began by having the Young Women recite the Young Women’s Theme. Then I asked the students to look for one of the values that Peter mentions in 2 Peter 1:1-4. Once they identified “divine nature”, I asked them to explain what it meant. It was surprising to them that they did not really understand what “divine […]

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/04/sister-missionary-night.html For our joint (all-girls) activity this week we had a special Sister Missionary night! We had heard from several recently returned Elders (and a newly called Elder on his way to the MTC) within the past few months, but nothing specifically for the girls. Since there are so many more girls going on missions now, I thought it would be good to have a special night focusing…

BEDNAR: “The choices we make about the use of our personal temples will affect us throughout all eternity. “Because the physical body is so central to the Father’s plan of happiness and our spiritual development, we should not be surprised that Lucifer seeks to thwart our progression by enticing us to use our bodies improperly. It is to me one of the ultimate ironies of eternity that the adversary, who is miserable because he has no physical body and therefore cannot progress, seeks to make us miserable “like unto himself” (2 Ne. 2:27) through the improper use of our bodies. The very tool he does not have and cannot use thus is the primary instrument through which he attempts to lure us to spiritual destruction. “Our physical bodies indeed are temples of God. Consequently, you and I must carefully consider what we take into our temple, what we put on our temple, what we do to our temple, and what we do with our temple. And we can learn a number of important lessons by comparing the Church’s temples to our physical bodies as temples.” (Ye Are the Temple of God) Filed under: New Testament, Seminary Tagged: 1 Corinthians, Bible, Body, Builders, Chastity, DAB, Defile, Destroy, Education, Foundation, FSOY, […]
Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/03/spinachartichoke-dip-baked-tortilla.html I really want to teach “Life Skills” to the Mia Maids during some of our Mutual activities, so tonight we did some cooking for our class activity. We made Hot Spinach & Artichoke Dip and Baked Tortilla Chips. I chose these items because I thought they would be unique enough to interest them, but easy enough that they could do the mixing and cooking themselves.First, two girls…

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/03/pre-dating-boot-camp.html GUYS AND GIRLS – A GUIDE FOR PRE-DATERSThere is a big transition in the relationship between girls and boys during the years they are in Young Women. Some girls (and most boys) are still in the “cooties and hair-pulling” phase when they turn 12, but they must learn to start to relate to each other as equals during their Beehive/Deacon years. By the time they are…

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/02/teaching-yw-basic-life-skills.html A recently came across some paperwork and notes from a former calling in Relief Society (in a previous Stake). One of the pages was a letter that the Stake had sent out, about 5 years ago. It described a survey that they had conducted of ADULT sisters in the Stake (in a suburb of a large city), asking about their current provident living skills and those that…

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2013/02/basic-sewing-burp-rags.html This week for our class activity the girls learned to sew basic burp-rags (about 1/2 the size of a receiving blanket). I chose this project because it is VERY easy, as far as sewing goes. It also goes along with our theme for the month – Divine Nature – because I gave the girls the option to either give their completed project to someone who is having/has…

Our personal progress classroom temple banners fit on four pages or less. I created them to be used at New beginnings or when you are focusing on a particular value during the month; however, you’ll find lots of uses for them at camp and other activities, I’m sure. Simply print out the pages, align the overlap, and tape for a beautiful classroom poster! Enjoy! Sample image:
