Perfecting the Saints — One Lesson at a Time
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 girl…
MANNERS FOR LADIESBy special request from a certain YM leader, we needed to address a sensitive issue – “Can you PLEASE teach the YW to sit correctly in a skirt?” This was a pretty big problem in our ward. But we didn’t want to offend anyone or make th…

I love the countless examples of women in the scriptures. Many claim that there aren’t enough women in the scriptures, and while their claims are certainly valid, I see so much depth in the few portraits of women we have the privilege of finding in our scriptures.
Quite a few have seen my series of value posters with Disney Princesses, and several people have mentioned that they would love to see value posters pulling role models from the scriptures. The idea excited me, as it was in fact directly correlated with a project I’ve been working on for the past several months, and so I focused my personal study on seeking out the righteous examples we’ve been given in scripture and finding the values they emulate.
As a disclaimer in advance, I do not own the copyright to any of the paintings used. These posters are only for non-commercial home and church use. I make no profit whatsoever from these posters. I did my best to search the copyright of the individual paintings to see that I would be able to use these images for this small, non-profit project. That being said, I found each one of these paintings to beautifully reflect the divine spirits depicted in the scriptures of each of these women.
Each poster is available as a JPG file, and the set can be downloaded as PDFs. They are only intended to be printed 8.5 x 11, or smaller.

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2014/04/mothers-day-activity-childcare-seminar.html Every year (on a Wednesday night close to Mother’s Day), we have a special activity when Moms are invited to attend Mutual with the Young Women. In the past we have usually played games and done makeovers, that sort of thing. This year, our Beehive class presidency has planned an all-girls (joint) Mothers Day activity that is a little different. When planning our Mutual activities, one of…

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2014/04/face-painting-activity-gaining-skills.html I came across the idea for doing face-painting as an activity when a pin on Pinterest led me to this site: LDS LEMON”AIDS” At first I thought that sounded more like an Activity Days activity, but the more I thought about it, the more I loved it – especially for a Beehive class activity! The purpose behind learning how to face-paint was to teach the girls a skill…

Downloaded from: http://ldsywideasandactivities.blogspot.com/2014/01/personal-preparedness-jeopardy.html My husband and I recently team-taught a lesson for the youth (combined ym/yw) about personal preparedness. This was specifically focused on temporal preparedness and life skills for teens. We felt like lecturing them about getting a 1 year supply of food (which is important) would just go in one ear and out the other. We did talk briefly about storing food, but our goal was to get…

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 […]
