MAKE A GRATITUDE JOURNAL ACTIVITY!

HOW TO MAKE THE JOURNAL:

All you need is scissors (paper cutter would be great), whole punch (got mine at the dollar store) and string to make this book. This doesn't make an activity on its own (doesn't take super long to make this book) but would be a great addition to any gratitude lesson or activity. 

This journal can be made anytime of year - after the pages are cut, you just put the closest month in the front.

President Nelson has asked us to recognize miracles in our life, so I wanted to include a page that can be used all year long, a spot to write maybe special moments :)

The monthly journal includes a different quote on gratitude.

Activity Days Faith In God "Witches Brew" Covenant Path

Since the program changed in 2020, I updated this activity to be "stay on the covenant path" since there's no Faith In God award anymore! Just a couple things were tweaked but this still makes an awesome activity!!

This "Faith In God Treasure Hunt" was so popular, that I wanted to so something similar for Halloween: Faith In God Witches Brew.

Synopsis: Invite the girls to dress up like witches for this activity. Then when they arrive, they are given a recipe but without the ingredients. They must hunt down hidden clue cards that give them the correct ingredients, just like we must work for our Faith In God award. Once they have found all the ingredients, they can make the cookies!

So I figured that the girls could learn about how to get their Faith In God award by making "Swig" cookies (if you live in Utah, you probably know how fantastic these sugar cookies are). So the idea is that the ingredients to the "Witches Brew" come together to make the Faith In God Award, similar to how ingredients make cookies. 

 Once  the girls arrive, give them this print-out that they can fold in half, so on either side of their half sheet they have a recipe: 

On the first side, they have the "ingredients" to the Faith In God award, which hopefully

 by the end of the lesson they will be more familiar with.

Then on the other side, they have ingredients to the "Swig" cookie. But just like witches have to hunt down ingredients for their "brews", the girls must hunt down and fill out the correct recipe for the cookies. Each Faith In God requirement is assigned a different food ingredient, with a clue to tie them together. For example:

Pray Daily = You "butter" pray, every day = 1 C Butter 

Write Your Testimony = Write your testimony down so it won't spoil, that will help your lamp stay full of oil = 3/4 C Vegetable Oil. 

These clue cards can be hidden around a church building, around a back yard... anywhere. The girls, while in their witches costumes, have to go around and fill out the recipe by finding the clue cards. Once all the girls have found all the clue cards and have their "Swig" Cookie Recipe all filled out, then everyone can come together to make the cookies. While the cookies are baking, you can go over the Faith In God award requirements and ask the girls if they have any questions about getting their award.
