Young Women Personal Progress Activity Modesty

Young Women Personal Progress Activity Modesty! Once a month, I am in charge of a activity for the Young Women in my ward to focus on Personal Progress, so I want it to be special!

I try to take out reminders to the girls the night before our activity. I found these backstage passes at Oriental Trading Company for $12.75 per dozen. I have used these for my daughter, Andie’s birthday, before and the girls love them!

I created the invitation with the program Print Artist but you can use what you already have. The invitation is the size of a business card, and then I cut them out and put them in the necklace.

For our activity, we had a fashion show!! The girls walked the runway in their fabulous outfit, it was described by the other girls. We pointed out how important it is to be modest and our cute girls in our ward always seem to follow this.

I also brought some plastic tablecloths, garland, plastic string, scissors and tape, that I purchased from The Dollar Store. I divided them into small groups and they created a masterpiece for one of the group members to model. Its amazing how creative these girls are!

At the end of the fashion show I gave each girl a small tiara and reminded them that they are a daughter of God and he loves them!
