For YW Leaders: Contact Cards

Today we're mixing it up a little and posting for all of the YW Leaders out there!
(I know girls, I know. We'll get back to you tomorrow!)

Anywho. I just got called to work with the Miamaids in our ward and had to say goodbye to my Laurels....sniff, sniff. So we'll be making the rounds to say hello to all the girls and introduce ourselves. I wanted something to give them so they can have our contact info easily available which led to these cute little contact cards!



I had so much fun making them that I decided to make them for each class and post them on here for whoever might enjoy them as well! Just click on the picture or link and you can print off cards for Beehive, Miamaid, or Laurel Leaders! I chose to laminate mine as well so that they will be a little more indestructible, haha. Enjoy!

What's Your Favorite Girl Scout Cookie?

This may be one of the best little holidays ever! Girl Scouts Day! Because how else would you celebrate this holiday than by eating your favorite Girl Scout cookies by the sleeve!!!

Once upon a time I worked at a Girl Scout summer camp as a counselor. We had TONS of fun hiking, crafting, horseback riding, and more. But one thing I remember the most is that EVERY meal had Girl Scout cookies included. What a dream!!!

And as a counselor I also knew where those cookies were stashed in the back of the kitchen...which means it's needless to say that even with all of that outdoor exertion, I gained a few pounds in cookies that summer.

But OH it was worth it. :)

<--- This cute (and free) printable can be found at The Craft Nest and I feel has great depths of truth. Haha.


And I also found this very informative picture on the Girls Scout website so that you can clearly see all of your cookie choices. Very important details here people.


Which leads us to one of life's most important (and sometimes overlooked) questions:

What's your favorite Girl Scout cookie?

My favorite has always been the Samoas :) But I won't say no to the Thin Mints or Tagalongs either! Now I better go find me some cookie goodness!!!

Acts of Love: Saying Thanks

Sometimes the best way to show you love someone is to just say "thank you"! 
For Acts of Love today, find a way to say thanks to someone you love - your mom, your BFF, etc!

You could write a note, give a hug, make a treat, or help them with a chore.
Another fun idea is to print off these Free Gratitude Cards from Skip To My Lou and 
leave them hidden around for that someone to find. 
Who doesn't love getting surprise thank you notes?!?!?!

Make A General Conference Journal

Have you read our April issue of Stand & Shine Magazine?

In one of the articles we talked about the importance of preparing for General Conference
and also showed you how to make the General Conference Journal 

You can read the article here on page 32 and 33!


The General Conference Journal is a great way to organize your notes during conference 
and be able to reference them more easily later on!



She even has a FREE printable for the tabs
so all you have to do is print and assemble!

Check out our article for the detailed instructions!

(And p.s. We also shared that this could be a great Value Project for almost any value (though in the magazine this month we focused on Faith). Make the journal and then watch all 8+ hours of conference, taking notes and writing your impressions during each talk. Afterwards you can write down your testimony of the Prophet and Apostles, how you felt the Spirit, what impressions you had, etc.)

And you still have 2 days before conference! Plenty of time to make this simple project!

Extreme Group Dates!



Get ready. Set. Go! 
Are you excited for some Extreme Group Date ideas?

We're talking crazy awesome dates.
Seriously.

We know the dating scene can be scary and stressful.
And sometimes those boys just don't know how to ask a girl out!

But never fear because we are here to help you out!
You and your BFF's could use these ideas to ask out a group of guys,
or you could secretly plant the awesome suggestion in those silly boys' minds.
(insert evil laugh here = WHA HA HA)

Either way, you're guaranteed to have a blast with these games!





No, croquet is not just for those over 60.
Especially when it's played at the extreme!

The trick to extremem croquet is that you set up a croquet course 
in an unusual place like a park or picnic area. 
Think hills, streams, rocks, trees - the more obstacles the better!


Supplies Needed: 
1 Croquet Set + 1 Park + Fun People


Set Up: 
When setting up your course, put the wickets in tricky places
like in a cluster of trees or over a small creek.
Long-distance shots are really fun too :)
Just make sure to tell everyone in your group where they are,
maybe even taking them on a little tour of the course so they know where to go.


How To Play: 
Each player takes a turn, 
trying to hit their ball through the first wicket.
If a player misses, they will have to use their next turn to try and get it through again. 
If they make it through the wicket, they can move on to the next
wicket on their following turn.

So everyone will continue following the course and taking turns appropriately.
The first person through the last wicket wins!

Have fun!
And maybe your Grandma will want to play with you next time!

(Note: Most croquet sets have enough mallets and balls for 8 people,
but if your group is larger just make sure to borrow another croquet set from someone.)






Supplies Needed: 
1 Deck of Cards + Spoons (enough for every person except one)


Set Up: 
Scatter the spoons around the room.
You could also put them in a different room or behind a couch, etc.
Something tricky :)

Have everyone sit in a circle on the floor.
The dealer will give everyone 4 cards and put the rest of the cards in the middle.


How To Play:
The object is to get 4 cards of the same number and then grab a spoon.

So the dealer will start by picking a card from the pile,
deciding whether they want it and then put either the new card or
one of their old cards face down in front of the next player.
That player will pick up the card, decide if they want it 
and again, either put that card or one from their hand in front of the next player.

Players cannot have more than 4 cards in their hand,
so the cards will continue to make their way around the circle as 
players pick up and get rid of a card.

When a player gets 4 cards with the same number,
they run and grab a spoon (wherever they are).
As soon as someone runs to get a spoon all of the other players
try to get a spoon as well.
The player left without a spoon is out.

For the next round, the player who got out will just watch while everyone plays again. 
(Make sure to take out a spoon so there is always one less spoon 
than the number of people playing.)
When you get down to two people, you'll find out who the 
champion extreme spoon player is!




Supplies:
1 Sorry game + Chalk + Large Driveway or Cemented Area


Set Up:
Draw a life-size Sorry board with chalk.
You could do it by color like in the real game,
or just with white chalk.

Divide into teams.
Probably 4 on a team will work best.
It would be fun for each team to wear their color too,
like the blue team wears blue shirts, etc.


How to Play:
Play exactly like the real Sorry game, but instead 
use the life-size board and use people as the games pieces.

Use the cards from Sorry just like in the real game
to start, move, switch, etc.

The winning team is the one to get to HOME first!

M&M's For General Conference

The countdown is on! Just 18 more days until General Conference!
Which means it might be a good time to start preparing our hearts and minds.


We found this adorable M&M printable with some tips on how to prepare for conference. 
It was shared by Chelsie Toyn on sugardoodle.net. 


1. Write a list of questions

2. Pray about the items on your list

3. Listen for the answers


You could glue it in your journal next to the questions you write down or
staple it onto some M&M's and it's a fun little class handout!
