One of my last activities that I helped out with was Sweetheart's activity. The Laurel's were in charge and she wanted to do a friendship night or speed friendship activity. She found some of her favorite quotes that she liked and we had embroidery thread left over from a previous activity years ago, and she knew she wanted to do a chalkboard activity! The night went over great!
She was over planned in case something didn't work out or if the girls just didn't like doing something. She had the room decorated with her quotes. If our printer worked we would not have done these by hand. My daughter is home for the summer from BYUH and she helped write these quotes to paper.
The quotes were hung around the room. I had a spider from Halloween from years ago! That hung on the chalkboard and went perfectly with the Have you Ever had a Wilbur DAY
She read part of this and then added her own thoughts of what she observed in our ward and among our YW! I loved it. The chalkboard activity was prior to reading the Wilbur Day story she asked all of the girls to go to the chalkboard and right what a good friend is. Everyone knows what a good friend is but not everyone behaves like a good friend.
2. This activity was making friendship bracelets and the idea was to start your bracelet and then everyone would switch chairs and tie a few knots on each others bracelets. But, that didn't work out so well and everyone did their own. Each person knew how to make a friendship bracelet or had the concept but executing the bracelets looked a little rough. The girls didn't seem to mind and that took the majority of the time. Muddy buddies was her treat and the YWP brought watermelon! Which was nice and refreshing!
3. They each brought home friendship seeds which she filled envelopes with pretzel mm's. You can use any colorful candy. We would have printed these as well but had a malfunctioning printer. On each handout were 3 key things to being a good friend. The link can be found here Scroll to the bottom of the page and you can also grab the printable!
4. If there were enough time we would have shown this video by President Uchtdorf STOP IT
