For Beehives: Excellence Buzz
- This was created as a special activity for Beehives when they are excluded from youth conference for age reasons.
New Beginnings: It’s a Jungle Out There, Mission Possible
- Coming up with ideas for New Beginnings is easier than you think. You can start with the new mutual theme for the year to spark some ideas. You can also start brainstorming on general theme ideas like sports, medieval, etc. This is how the jungle theme came about for me. Another great idea is to use popular media elements - TV shows, movies, song titles, etc. Just put some gospel twists on it and watch it develop into a fun themed event!

I am reading in “Bright Ideas for Young Women Leaders” where she references your site (which is awesome!) about a Family Feud about “For the Strength of Youth”. I am unable to locate it on your site. Could you please direct me? Thank you!
Hi Casandra - that’s fun to know about Bright Ideas! I’ll have to go check that out. I have this link on the old Sharing site for the FTSOY Jeopardy game: http://www.sharingwithyw.com/downloads/FTSOY%20Jeopardy.pdf but I don’t recall one for Family Fued.

Holly,
We love your “It’s a jungle out there and want to use some of your ideas. I tried to print the tools cards but they are not centered on my page so I will only end up with 2 cuts how did you do yours?

We are doing your “It’s A Jungle Out There” program for our New Beginnings program next week. During our preparations we discovered that your program was done prior to the new “Virtue” young women value that was added last year. In case others may want to use what we came up with, we decided to use a compass for the symbol. The value for virtue states, “I will prepare to enter the temple and remain pure and worthy. My thoughts and actions will be based on high moral standards.” I found a simple compass graphic to use for the bulletin board posters, and on the survival cards for compass we added - “Compass: Provides direction to help us stay on the right path.” We are looking forward to doing the program next week and hope the added information for the virtue value may be a help to others who may be using the same program in the future.
What a fantastic add!! Thank you SO much for sharing!!
