Random Activity Days Ideas

Today I was looking for something in my e-mail and I came across this list I made for a planning session. Some of these we used, but not all of them so I thought I would share all these ideas in case they work for you :)

Activity Days Ideas

* A manners activity where we learn to set a table correctly and other etiquette.

* teach them how to plant a flower (starting with a pot, soil, seeds, ect)

* time capsule activity- have them write goals for the next 5-10-15 years. Have them draw pictures where they want to be

* make an apron – one week we can go to the store and let them pick out their fabric (maybe the $1 section at walmart), the next we can sew them.

* Make a necklace with fabric and large wooden beads (I did this with my friends…. It was really easy)

* Father-daughter dinner- we can maybe make spaghetti… something easy the girls can do themselves. We could do this at the church and have the girls come 1 hour before their fathers. We can divide the girls up and give them each a different responsibility like:

o Boil the noodles

o Warm up the sauce

o Make rolls

o Set the table (using their manners and etiquette knowledge)

o Make the dessert

* Homemade personal pizzas with rhodes rolls and pie pan. This is a super easy dinner… casey and I do it all the time. Maybe while the pizzas are in the oven, we can have them watch a church movie.

* For valentines day: have the girls frost and decorate sugar cookies for a few families of their choice in the ward or maybe the bishopric, then drop them off.
