New Beginnings...It's a Jungle Out There!

I decided to post just a few picture of what we did for our New Beginnings activity a year and a half ago. This one was quite a bit of work beforehand, but the effect when the girls and their parents walked in was totally worth it!




The part of the night the girls performed was a skit called "The Adventures of the Missing Personal Progress Book" I thought it was so clever. We brought in our 2nd Counselors entire bedroom set (she happened to have a jungle theme going on :) and had the girls looking in this messy room for their personal progress books. Because if your YW are like ours, they seem to have a hard time keeping track of that thing :) As they are looking they would find different items, like scriptures, picture of a boy, immodest shirt, etc and talk about how the For the Strength of Youth says you should handle those things. The girls did a great job and learned a lot too!




We also had some speakers and introduced the new Beehives, then ended the night with banana splits and banana chocolate cupcakes. It was a great night, and the girls STILL talk about it! Oh, and these were also the cute invites I made, I attached a baggie filled with animal cookies, fun fun! :)
