Sweet Service with Candy Posters

Okay, all you Young Women Leaders!  Activity Day Leaders!
And MOMS needing a fun service-oriented Family Home Evening!
Get ready for some SWEET SERVICE.

Here is a fanstaticaly FUN service activity!  That won't seem boring at all.  (And yea, sometimes youth think service is boring.  But it's not!  And this is a great way to spark some interest in reaching out and uplifting others.)

Make CANDY GRAMS.  Here's how.  

1) Buy 10 Candy Bars (or how every many you like) and 2 large posters.
2) Divide the girls into two groups.
3) Tell the girls they are in charge of creating a "Candy Gram" for a person in the neighborhood.  Choose someone who is in particular need of an uplift.  Perhaps someone having health issues, or just in need of a little encouragement.  It can even be someone who needs a "sweet" thank you!  Or someone who just had a new baby.
4)  Give each group 5 or more candy bars, depending on how many you bought.
4)  Challenge the groups to write a "Candy Gram" message using the candy bars as words, as seen below.
5)  Set a timer so there is an element of racing against the clock.
6)  With markers, have the groups write their message on a poster board and glue the candy bars in the right spots.
4)  Deliver the "Candy Grams"!!!  And feel the sweet spirit of service!!!

Making Candy Bar posters is a tradition at my house.  Birthdays.  Fathers Day.  Congratulations.  Inspiration. Believe me! I can make a Candy Gram for any occasion!  Here is one of them we made for neighbor who had cancer. My kids really enjoy making them.  :))

This next one, I didn't make, but loved it!  It is a congratulations to a young women who finished her personal progress.  So fun!
