My Body is a Temple

This is a super cute picture from overstuffedlife.com.  I love her design and the message is inspiring!  I made this graphic into a print 4-to-a-page pdf.  You can find it here .We did an activity last spring ( I know, I am really behind-more on that later) that incorporated this theme.  We talked about how important it is to take care of our bodies and what Heavenly Father expect us to do with them.  You could take this lesson in several different directions.  We chose to do fitness.  So we went outside and played some games.  We did relays involving jumping rope, running, skipping, jumping jacks, etc.  

When the girls were nice and worn out, we had some of this:

Yummy fruit salsa!

And....

cinnamon tortilla chips!  Yummm!!!

This was a delicious healthy snack, easy to prep beforehand, and we make it all the time at my house now.  Here is the recipe (from allrecipes.com):

Word of Wisdom & CTR

This week we tried to cover two items from the FiG booklet:

pg. 6, 7th one

pg. 7, 2nd one

So we read & discussed D&C 89 about the Word of Wisdom.

Then we practiced the Hymn Choose The Right which they are also learning in Primary so we didn't spend a whole lot of time on that. I altered these CTR bookmarks. Mine are 6/page and front & back.

Front Bookmark

Back Bookmark

Then for the time consuming part - we made file folder games for Word of Wisdom. I already had the CD to print it off so that was easy. They could take them home for their family or give to another family. They liked coloring but none of them finished it. Hopefully they finish them at home! I provided the print outs, folders (from a giant box I bought years ago), and an envelope for the pieces. I also got a roll of contact laminate from Michaels ($6 with using 40% coupon).
