3 Activity Day Ideas #1 Easter Jelly Bean Poem Jars Easter Jelly Beans Green-is for the grass he made Yellow-the light of each new day Pink-His power to raise the dead Orange-for fish and 5000 fed Purple-He calmed the stormy sea Red-His blood in Gethsemane Black-He knows our every sin White-He can make us clean again Preparation: Easter Jellybean Poem Jar Labels Brachs jellybeans in the classic colors and classic flavor. Get babyfood jars, we used the peach puree for waffle topping and smoothies. (the sticky part can be removed by rubbing vegetable oil and leaving overnight, or else the label can be put over the sticky part) ribbon, you might want to tie a bow for each jar in advance so they just have to be glued on, depending on the age of your girls and how well they can tie bows. We glued ribbon around edge of the lid and glued a bow on top of it. Make some pom pom/cotton ball bunnies and ducks. Eastergrass, shredded green paper, or spanish moss (all available in dollar stores), you could glue this on in advance with a glue gun. Glue guns or Tacky glue Lesson: Talk about the service the Savior did for us by discussing the jelly bean poem. If there is time you could let a different girl explain what each color means to them. Help the girls recognize the spirit and understand that the things in the poem are things we know about Jesus. We can think about them during the Sacrament, they are things that help us love him more, and they are part of our testimony of the Savior. To make Jars: 1) Make pom pom animals (can do this as a gathering activity as the girls arrive if you wish) 2) fill the jars with jelly beans 2) tape the poem over the sticky part on the jar where the baby food label used to be. 3) hot glue a pom pom animal on the lid. If you have the girls make their own pom pom animals, you'll need several glue guns to avoid a bottleneck on the craft. Tacky glue also works very well for pom pom animals and isn't hot! The girls can make more than one animal and choose their favorite for the jar. resources for this activity: paper and ribbon mini treat jars (scroll down to four days before halloween) spraypaint and ribbon lidded jars the girls could make these cute jar toppers with scrapbook paper, I wonder what colors would look best with classic jellybean colors... #2 Missionary Letters Draw pictures of the first vision to send to the missionaries in your ward. (They could write letters or thoughts too, but for our mostly eight year old girls I thought the pictures were more meaningful for the girls to make and the missionaries to receive.) #3 Service Bingo I made some service clip-art and bingo cards. All of the service activities pictured are things 8 and 9 year olds can do. There are 35 items, so when they got bingo we talked about the items they had on their board. They learned about the many ways they can serve others in daily life.

Also, I have sent files to people who request it in the comments, I don't publish their e-mail addresses.)

So my friend did a taste off activity and said it was a huge hit (I mean, aren't activities centered around food usually?!) So I wanted to make this "placemat" to make this activity just a little more cohesive. I made four different "placemats" depending on how much food you want to use and whether you want the placemat to include the Gospel Standard or not. 1. Room for 8 pairs of food & Gospel Standard is included (great for a healthy eating lesson) 2. Room for 4 pairs of food & Gospel Standard 3. Room for 8 pairs of food & no Gospel Standard (great for just a fun activity) 4. Room for 4 pairs of food & no Gospel Standard Room for 8 pairs of food AND Gospel Standard Room for 8 pairs of food and NO Gospel Standard I was sharing this activity with my sister and she said having the Gospel Standard on there and then serving Oreos and Root Beer and chips might have some mixed messaging, haha... so that's why depending on how you want to use this placement it may be better to leave if off. Here are some examples: fun to really evaluate what kinds of healthy foods you like :) fun to see if they can even taste a difference between the two To make a "placemat" from the PDF, just trim the margin and tape who pieces of paper together.

Thought I would share another activity I had with my Activity Days girls last week. We were on a mission, we went undercover and performed 7 days worth of SecRet SerViCe. Before we got started we talked a bit about service and the blessings that come when we help others. I found some manila envelopes at the dollar store and personalized them with their names on them. Inside I included a pen and these "forms" that they were to fill out during the activity. I also included a list of ideas for serving to help get them going. I was also lucky to find these fun "undercover" glasses to stick inside. Just to help them really get into the part...AND they would know if anyone sneaking up on them ;) (they really did kind of work!) The girls thought it was great. Honestly, I was pretty surprised with how excited they were to get going on their challenge. A lot of them told me they were going to go home and get started right away. Just goes to show that it doesn't take much (couple of bucks at the dollar store) to get kids excited about doing things for others. It turned out to be a fun, easy way to teach the important principal of SeRviNg oTheRS...

About A Year of Forest School More games, crafts and skills Forest School style, building on the success of Play the Forest School Way. This book is organized by season to encourage kids to get outdoors come rain, shine or snow! Following on from the bestselling Play the Forest School Way, here is a brilliant selection of brand-new games, crafts and activities to get kids developing new skills and exploring the natural world all year round. Structured around the four seasons of the year, each chapter is packed full of step-by-step Forest School games and activities that harmonize with the weather and what’s happening in nature at that time of year, with a nod to seasonal festivals such as Easter and Christmas. In spring, for example, you could make a mud birthday cake to celebrate Earth Day on 22 April, or (inspired by bird song) craft sistrums from sticks and bottle tops, or make a clay hare and enjoy dandelion tea and a chocolate egg hunt at a spring day out. At Forest School, children return to the same location again and again, building a lasting connection with a specific part of the natural world, and this book in its year-round approach will bring this aspect of Forest School play to the fore. Each of the four seasonal chapters includes a description of an extended session (combining active and quieter activities plus, for some, an idea for foraging/cooking) to guide Forest School leaders planning themed days and parents looking for party inspiration or nature days out. The Forest School ethos of nature-based play and learning that encourages children to develop confidence, self-esteem and emotional intelligence is exactly what’s needed in an era when childhood problems such as obesity and anxiety are on the rise. Woven through the year are stories from the authors’ own Forest School classes, as they make a passionate case for the importance of ensuring children’s access to nature and the incredible benefits they will gain from being outside, even in the heart of a city.

On the first week of the new school year, I like to play games where I really get to know a lot about my students and they learn a bit about me, too. There are many great first day activities, but I chose an easy dice game this year. I stumbled upon this idea over at Pinterest. I found plenty of similar ideas, but I created a poster to meet my students' need. I am sharing with you my poster that you can download for free. Just print and play! The rule of this game is very simple. Children will roll the dice and then share something about themselves, depending on the number they rolled. Share this Facebook Twitter Pinterest
Start class out by having a clear jar full of clean clear water. Explain that it represents the beginning of someones testimony. Show them the food coloring. Explain that this represents the strengthening of the testimony. Explain that each time we share the gospel with others our testimony is strengthened, just like every time a drop of food coloring is put into the water the color gets darker and stronger. (this idea comes from the 2013 Primary Sharing Time Outline) What is the Gospel? " ...the gospel includes all the doctrines, principles, laws, ordinances, and covenants necessary for us to be exalted in the celestial kingdom." (http://www.lds.org/topics/gospel) How can we share the Gospel? Ask children for ways they can share the gospel. Each time a child says a way then add a drop of food coloring to the water. Pointing out how stronger the color gets each time. What is a Testimony? "A testimony is a spiritual witness given by the Holy Ghost." (http://www.lds.org/topics/testimony) Tell the story of this young girl: “A young girl was afraid to bear her testimony because she felt unsure of her feelings. But she knew it was important, so one day she bravely stood and bore her testimony, listing five things she believed in. When she was through, she had a good feeling and knew that her testimony had grown stronger.” Explain that we can all have a testimony of these five fundamental things that we can build our testimony on. Have the following pictures around the room. (Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, Book of Mormon, President Monson) Cover each square on the above printable with a piece of paper. Have a child come and remove one. Have them read it or you read it if they need help. Then have them go and find the picture that matches it. You could go into explaining in larger detail, your testimony on that particular thing. Add a drop of food coloring into the jar. Continue until all squares are uncovered and all pictures have been matched. Add a drop of food coloring each time. Bear your testimony and challenge each child to find ways throughout the week to share the gospel and strengthen their testimonies.
