My Baptismal Covenants Fitness Camp - Physical Goal Activity - Easter

I love spring. It’s finally warm enough to play outside! I wanted to make something that was a little more active, but with Easter coming up I also wanted to make something about our Savior. 

Each Sunday when have an opportunity to reflect on Jesus Christ and we partake of the sacrament, we are renewing our baptismal covenants. By reviewing the Baptismal Covenant, we learn that it is a promise between us and the Lord and we can evaluate if we are doing what we covenanted to do – being a member of the church, taking upon His name, helping others, testifying of Christ, serving God and keeping his commandments. If we do our part, Heavenly Father will forgive our sins, poor his Spirit more abundantly upon us and redeem us.

This activity would fit great under a "physical goal" for the fitness activity, but also under Learning and Living the Gospel: “Explain how taking the sacrament helps you renew your Baptismal Covenant. In a family home evening, teach others about things we can do to remain faithful.” 

You’ll need a bag/sac/basket for each girl, 8 bowls and 8 pieces of Hershey’s Nuggets (If you choose to use candy- you don’t have to. If you are doing this around Easter time, you can use an Easter egg, or you can use chocolate AND an Easter eggs J).

There are eight stations. I made table tents for each station that you can just place on the ground or if you’re in a backyard with furniture you can put them on chairs or tables. The table tents have the name and pictures for each exercise. You'll also have a bowl next to the table tent with the "missing word" chocolate nuggets/eggs/paper. One per participant. 

The “missing words” are designed to wrap around a Hershey’s nugget, but can also just be folded in half and/or placed in Easter Eggs.

 

Once everyone has all of their "missing words", they can use them to complete their very own "My Baptismal Covenants" handout. This handout is a great size to fit into scriptures after the activity. 

Before they go home, give them this reminder, so they can complete the Family Home Evening part of the requirement.
