Clean Hands and a Pure Heart

We had our Stake 11 year old girls Activity Day a couple of weeks ago and it turned out really neat. The theme of "Clean Hands and a Pure Heart" was so much fun!

While the girls were arriving, they gathered to make these super adorable flower rings. Aren't they cute?

I started off the day teaching about King Benjamin and how he served his people "with his own hands."

Jeremy was such a hero to step in at the last minute and play King Benjamin!

The class rotations were really awesome. First was a class on journals and testimony.

The girls read testimonies from the prophets in the Book of Mormon and then got to make a journal and write their testimony in it.

The next class was a "Safe Hands" class where they learned about internet and media safety.

Then they were taught about personal safety and learned some sweet self-defense moves!

In the "Learning Hands" class, the girls learned how to conduct music.

Each of them made a pretty conducting baton to take home and use in Family Home Evening.

I loved the "Serving Hands" class where the girls cleaned different areas of the church. It sure was sparkly when they were through!

Each ward was assigned to bring items for school kits, which the girls assembled at the activity.

Next, we gathered for a table manners class and learned the proper way to set a table. The girls were able to practice this by setting their own places.

Their moms were then invited to join the girls for a special luncheon, speaker, and video of "His Hands." What a treat!

Each girl was given one of these very cool hand soaps to remind them to use their hands for good every day. It was a successful day!

  1. That sounds like an amazing activity. I'll have to pass it on to our Achievement Day leaders.
