UPDATED: 6 B's Bee

Since the girls are starting school this week, we are having a back to school pep rally for mutual (ideas stolen from here).
Tomorrow I am making cupcakes and putting this bee on them. I think they are going to turn out really cute and I'll post pictures when they are done.

I also blew up the picture and will be making a huge poster.
Here are the bees ready to cut out for the cupcakes.
UPDATE:
Here are some pictures from the event:
I printed the bee out in a smaller version and attatched them to tootpicks.
 Then I placed them in the yellow cupcakes with beehives on top and added some small bee stickers we had on hand.  They were very cute and very easy!
I just made yellow cake cupcakes and then made yellow jello frosting (1 package instant pudding mixed with 1-1/2 cups milk and then a container of cool whip).  I took my frosting applicator and skipped the tip.  I squirted some out until it made a big circle then made two smaller circles on top of that.
Then I made these pennants.  LHS stands for Living Higher Standards.  I had a hard time with these and still wasn't in love with the finished project, but the girls liked them and were excited to put them in their lockers.

YW-3-26: Repentance

I toyed with a handout about the ABC's of Repentance but it just didn't pull together.  This is the handout I came up with instead:
Handout 4/page in PDF.
I gave it to the girls with a "sweet treat" of cake balls.

YW-3-30: Scripture Study

I had a hard time finding ideas for this lesson.  It didn't help that my husband is also teaching the same topic to the same age group in the Sunday School hour, so we've been trying to find different ways to teach it.  Sugardoodle had some ideas that I tweaked and then I found this recipie and decided to make bread durring class.  They have explainations as well that I would suggest printing off.
I will give the girls the handout below and have them fingure out what our recipie needs and them let them eat a second loaf (already baked) while we go over the rest of the lesson.
This handout is 2/page: PDF

I also found these two other ideas that I might tie in as well.
I might challange the girls to start working on reading the Book of Mormon for the Virtue Personal Progress project and use this scripture reading chart from Tales of a Trophy Wife:
And I LOVE these little scriptures from Little Miss Suzy Q!!!

YW 3-27: Forgiving Ourselves

This is what finally made me decide I needed to do this blog. I searched all over one night and couldn't find this poem. Finally I threw together this handout:
I was so irritated that I hadn't saved my hard work from the last time I did this. I quickly emailed the poem to Sugardoodle so someone else could use it too and now I'm on there (here)!

I Am a Princess


Here is the poem (the background didn't show up here) 4/page: PDF

YW-1-21: A Righteous Example Influences Others




Open/Print the document (8/page) here.

Here Goes

So, having been in YW for awhile now, I realized that I keep making handouts and things that help me with my lessons or activities but haven't been saving or sharing them. Lots of times I steal things from others and it's about time to let others steal from me. Hopfuly I can help someone else. If not, at least they are here for me to use again.
PS - If anyone has any of my old handouts and wants to send them back to me, I'll post those on here too.
