Combined activities

A couple people have asked for a copy of the activity we did this week called "Faith Factor". I tried to upload the .pdf, but apparently that's beyond Blogger's ability. So, give this link a try. http://www.jennysmith.net/images/media/Faith-Factor.pdf We did about eight of the questions/challenges and that took about an hour. I also modified some of the questions (like the one about when the Baton Rouge Temple was dedicated. Kids in Kansas have no idea, so I substituted it with the St. Louis Temple since that's our district. I changed a few of the challenges, too. For instance, instead of having one kid carry another, we did a wheelbarrow race across the gym (one kid uses their hands while the second one carries their feet). I also didn't have blindfolds so instead of blind free throws, I had them turn their back toward the goal and shoot backward over their head. Amazingly, one girl sank her first shot-didn't even touch the rim. She got high-fives and knuckles from everyone, even the boys!

If you work with youth or Scouts, www.jennysmith.net is a BIG help. She's got so many activity ideas you'll never run out. Also, it's a "member-fed" site, so if you've done an activity that was fun and the kids liked, share it with everyone else by posting it there.
