Value Experiences/Value Projects

---

• Lord's Standards vs. World's Standards - Bring old magazines, newspapers, art supplies and a piece of posterboard for each YW, or split them into groups with a piece of posterboard for each group.  Their assignment is to create posters (like anti-smoking campaign) or public service announcements warning against the World's Standards. They could also illustrate the differences between the Lord's Standards and the World's standards, and the need to stand tall and strong.  Have the girls explain their posters and their reasons for using the images and words that they did.  Have prizes for the best slogan, most artistic, most powerful statement, etc.  See if you can display the posters in your ward building.
• Integrity Journal Paper

• Make a folded card with a ribbon through one corner.  On the inside of the card, print "What I Want to Change". Have the YW write down the thing(s) they want to change. Tie the ribbon around the YW's Prayer Bear or Prayer Rock. As they are reminded to say their prayers, they will also be reminded to pray for help in making their changes.
• Integrity Journal Paper

• Courage Like the People in the Scriptures
• Courage to Live Righteously

Give the YW interview cards (for the box) with the following printed on them, and lines to write on:

• Who
• Question
• Answer

Have the girls share their favorite answers after they finish their interviews.

• Have a discussion panel in to discuss the weakening of the family.  You can ask an LDS counselor, marraige therapist, the Bishop (of course), and others to participate.  Have the youth write down any questions they may have beforehand, so the panel will have time to prepare.
• Skits in a Bag - The old standby, but it's fun!  Give each team a bag with props and costumes in it, and 15 minutes to prepare a skit.  They have to use everything in the bag, and everyone on the team needs to participate.  The topics given to each team should address the weakening of the family. Perform the skits.
• Family Fun Kits - Have the leaders and the youth bring an idea for a family fun night.  They can bring games, jokes, stories, plays, etc.  If they bring something printed, make a copy for each person.  If they bring in a game or something else "solid", make sure everyone has paper and pencils available to write the ideas down.  Give everyone an opportunity to explain, demonstrate or read their "FUN" activity.  Let all the youth gather copies of the ideas, and put them into a folder or bag.  Now they will have a great resource for FHE, and possibly some ideas on how to strengthen their families.

• Find or record family stories of integrity.  Compile the stories and share them for a FHE.  You can make an audio tape, do a dramatic reading, write a poem, video presentation, etc.. You can also compile the stories in a book, and give as gifts to relatives.

• "Being an exmple of the believers" - Search through the Ensign and the New Era for personal stories (Latter-Day Moment, etc.) of being an example and integrity.  Share these stories as a play, video, dramatic reading, puppet show, or another performance.
