LDS (mormon) Class activity Tuesday - Beehive age group, any ideas?

Question

We only have 5 at the most girls, probably only 3 there...any fun ideas for us for a class activity?

Jim - yeah then I can show them how a person's testimony can die if not constantly fed...thanks but no thanks

Answer 1

Sure Dot Invite me over and we can let them find out what Christians believe.. Might be good for them to get some exposure as to what most believers hold to be the truth... Jim

Answer 2

Do they know how to bake bread? We did this as Beehives. Then make cinnamon buns out of the dough.
Play badminton.
Get a board game like Scattergories.
Have them do impromptu speeches....we did this in 4-H...have on a piece of paper three topics. They get 10 seconds to choose, 60 seconds to prepare and 2 minutes to talk.
Teach them how to lead music.
www.thecolorcode.com has a really cool personality test...if you can get a copy of the book, it's by Dr. John Hartman
Sit down together and plan a party, complete with budget, activities/games, menu.
Etiquette night.
Have them sew/glue covers for their camp manuals and personal progress books.
Good luck and have fun!

Have you considered letterboxing? I don't know how old beehive girls are(I'm not Mormon and my husband isn't home to tell me) what you do is make each girl make a stamp out of an eraser (or use a bought one) give them each a pad of paper and go on a hike looking for a letter box already hid in your area or hide one yourself before the event you give a set of clues to the wear about of the letterbox and each girl stamps it when found with their stamp and they stamp their own book with the stamp hidden in the box. This is a great way to get the kids outside for a hike. go to www.letterboxing.org to find out more and see if any boxes are hidden in your area. I do this with my four year old and she loves it I have also taken my cousin who is a teenager and she had fun too. It a great way to show the environment and can be done by any age person. You could even hide one near the class just for your girls or have them make one and hide it somewhere.

Answer 4

Well in my ward they had a sort of "career night" - they had 3 women in the ward with interesting professions, and they each took 1/3 of the class time and talked about their job and the sorts of interests and training needed to pursue that sort of a job. Some ideas that they used in my ward were a music teacher, a chef, an engineer, a former athlete (could've gone pro but didn't)... Really, you can just see who's in your ward and decide based on the girls' interests who you think would interest them the most... If the two who aren't there are inactive or people who typically skip, maybe you could find out some things they are interested in and have someone talk about that... just some ideas.

vvvvv We tried did that once in our ward too, but it took a lot of preparation and wouldn't be ready in time for Tuesday (tomorrow).

Answer 5

Any kind of crafts went over well with me when I was that age in the church. You could make picture frames. They sell the blank ones at places like Hobby Lobby so you can paint or glue stuff on. Or you can just use the foam material and cut out frames to decorate (a little bit cheaper.) Then at the end, take a picture of the group to be developed and placed in their frames.

Answer 6

When I was in young women's, we did a "modest makeover" and then took pictures like models with a digital camera. We had a lot of fun, although we did this as a combined activity. Good luck!
