Faith Factor

As some of you may know I have one of the greatest callings, I am the Achievement Day leader in my ward for all the 8 to 11 year old girls. I love these girls, they are always willing and wanting to do what I come up with. This activity was, I thought, fun. We had faith factor
(sorry I can't take all the credit I got the idea from sugardoodle.net). We divide into two teams and had scriptures written on the board that I would uncover before each new activity. The team that found the scripture the fastest (all the team members in there own scriptures) was the winner. After finding the scriptures they had to tell me the Faith word(s) in the verse(s). Then if there team won they got to pick there activity.

(for the privacy of my girls I will be changing names)

Sour Lips-object to get as much juice from the lemons as possible in 30 secondsGertrude and Pamela are at there best Gertrude, getting the lemon juice out.

Pamela, spitting hers in, hoping she can get more then Gertrude


We had an Ice Melt-object is to have your whole team melt there ice cubes, in there hands, the fastest.


The Brady bunches hands were absolutely frozen by the time they were done


Apparently jumping up and down makes the ice cube melt faster


Next Shakira and Nancy were Breath Taking, object to get the cotton ball of the opposite side of the table

Nancy, blowing so hard her face turned a little red, but working so hard.

Shakira in action, wanting to win, blowing, blowing, blowing.


Shakira and Pamela were ready for bounce. Object to get as many tennis balls to BOUNCE into a garbage can.
Doing great ladies



We had a Drop Zone- Object to drop three goldfish into there teammates mouths before the other team
Megara, Winny, Apple, and Montana all were at there best, never giving up and being cheered on by the rest of the team.
We also had Slime Ball, where teams had to get down to the slime of a grape by taking the skin off. Creepy Crawly, they used a stick to get gummy worms from a bowl to cup to cup and see who had the most in the end cup in 2 minutes. and Black Hole two girls are blindfolded and throwing balls and there partners are holding the bowl to toss into, first to get there two in wins the point.
Thanks for a great activity girlies!!

You ARE a great leader. Actually, you are a FANTASTIC leader. We are so lucky. I love the names! My girls got a kick out of that.

Oh my heck! You have to be the best achievements day leader ever! I love it! If I ever get called to that I am so stealing this idea! I'm hoping that the goldfish you mentioned the girls were catching in their mouths were the cracker kind...not the fin and gill kind :). What a fun activity!

That sounds super fun! I want to do stuff like that with my kids when I actually have some at an age they can do that.
