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. :))
