Help your Primary leaders plan and carry out an upcoming quarterly activity.*
At our activity:
Today we reviewed the Faith in God pamphlets with each girl who was able to come, one-on-one with a leader. Every one of the girls who is coming to activities regularly is well on her path to earning her Faith in God award when she graduates from Primary.
In addition to reviewing the Faith in God program, we invited the girls to suggest activities they would like to do someday. Some of these have been done in the past, some have been done in or heard of from other wards, some are activities that just sound like fun to the girls. Feel free to comment below to add ideas, or talk to one of the Activity Day's leaders any time with any ideas you think of too.
At home:
Parents have the responsibility to help their children learn and live the gospel. Primary leaders and teachers assist parents in this important responsibility.
Also review pages 4-5 in the pamphlet: Faith in God Award Requirements. These are parts of the Faith in God program that each girl must choose to participate in personally, such as praying daily and regular scripture study.
Activities suggested by the girls**:
- Sing songs to people at a rest home
- mother/daughter date
- swimming
- daddy/daughter date
- making spiders, or other holiday craft
- making Christmas cards
- Pennies by the Inch (note: this specific program is no longer available)
- "heart attack" someone
- clean the nursery toys
- make up stories together by adding on one sentence at a time
- Thanksgiving net turkeys
- go ice skating
- go sledding -- maybe as the daddy/daughter date?
- sew scripture bags
- learn to cook something
- jewelry making
- service project (such as the project this year at the public library)
- Valentine's cards (thank you cards) for someone
- secret acts of service, but not necessarily at Christmas time
- do a cooperative project, such as putting together a big puzzle
- see the quilt show and learn to make a quilt square
*The pamphlet most of the girls are using includes this activity. Primary quarterly activities, however, have been discontinued, so this specific idea no longer appears in the Faith in God for Girls pamphlet.
**Not all of these activities will be done, of course.. We accept any and all ideas! Activities will continue to be based on activities that fit the needs of the girls and the abilities of the leaders within the intentions of the Faith in God program.
NOTE: as part of this activity the girls suggested more ideas by writing them on a page divided into ideas for Learning and Living the Gospel, Serving Others, and Developing Talents. When those ideas have been compiled I will add them here!
Don't forget to add more ideas in comments below!
