Last night we had such a fun young women activity that I thought I would share!
I did a similar activity in my previous ward that you can read about here!
This time around I decided to add a little to the activity including "mad libs" and "challenge categories"!
It was such a blast and we all shared a lot of laughs!
I have created some fun printables to go along with the activity!
Feel free to share and use any ideas!
You can download a PDF copy of the printables by clicking on the links below.
I only provide PDF files, as the quality is much better for printing purposes
and I prefer the integrity of the designs not be changed or altered. Thanks for your understanding!
THE MODESTY CHALLENGE
HOW IT WORKED
We started by splitting the young women into five teams.
Each girl selected a bag which contained random supplies inside
and a "challenge category" (see categories below) taped to the front of the bag.
(some of the random supplies included tissue paper, toilet paper, die-cuts, paper plates,
streamers, ribbon, garbage bags, markers, etc.)
The girls had 30 minutes to design a head to toe MODEST ensemble inspired by their "challenge category".
Depending on the size of the team they had to make either 1 or 2 modest ensembles.
The girls quickly worked together to make their modest visions a reality!
We had five different categories for each of the teams (as seen above)!
At the beginning of the activity I had printed off these cards and stuck them to the front of white paper bags
that contained all of the random materials the girls would be using to make their modest designs!
THE MODESTY CHALLENGE
MAD LIBS & FASHION SHOW
Also in each bag was a "mad lib" for their category that they had to fill out for their design.
After the girls had completed their "looks" and filled out their category "mad libs", they walked the runway!
As the girls modeled and showed off their modest designs we would read the "mad libs".
The mad libs gave a description of the girl's masterpiece!
Some of them turned out super funny and we definitely all got a laugh!
Each category had it's own "mad lib" and two possible descriptions
(had two descriptions in case a group was making two dresses - again depended on the size of the team).
The girls filled out the blanks prior to the runway show,
and we read the descriptions as they walked down the runway.
This is just a simple printable poster that I hung on the board above the bags at the beginning of the activity.

SPIRITUAL THOUGHT
At the end of the activity, we cam together for a couple minutes and I shared a spiritual thought on modesty.
My thought was based on the talk given by Sister Dalton found here
We sent home this small treat with the girls as a reminder of the activity and the importance of modesty!
The handout was a small bag of starbursts and a handout titled "Arise and SHINE" (see below)
