The purpose of Relief Society will take on a new strength for Relief Society leaders, the sisters, and their families. Relief Society meetings will be a place where sisters can be taught and inspired in ways that meet their needs and, in turn, the needs of the ward or branch. (Julie B. Beck) Holidays Marriage […]

Here's 100+ Relief Society Activity Ideas to help you as you're planning your next shin dig with your ward or branch.

You all know the Nursery Rhyme 'This Little Piggy', right??? Let us refresh your memory... This Little Piggy went to Market, This Little Piggy stayed Home, This Little Piggy had Roast Beef, This Little Piggy had None, and this Little Piggy went wee wee wee all the way home. Well we thought it would be fun to use this for our Relief Society night! (it's funny where you draw inspiration from, isn't it?) So Went to Market, was a speaker on Grocerysmarts.com (Rebecca Hendrix aka coupon gal). She talked about how to use coupons when going to the market. Stayed Home, was a sister speaking on organization in the home. She has her own organization business and talked a lot about what to use when organizing and some steps to help you along your way. For Had Roast Beef, we passed out some special pie recipes from a sister in the ward who used to work for Magleby's. This Little Piggy had None, was a sister who bore her testimony on fasting. She did a great job and it was really nice to have a spiritual thought to wrap up the night. For Wee Wee Wee all the way Home, we all got to take a piece of the Magelby's pies!!! I had my committee each make a pie and bring it for all the sister's to taste!!! YUM!!! Here's a picture of the Primary Room. Pigs, pink and balloons!!! And I thought this picture was too funny not to frame and let the sisters look at... SOOOOO funny to see their face when they saw it! Here's the invitation to the meeting.

Another fun activity! In April, we planned an activity that focused on topics that pertain to Emergency Preparedness. We had such fun brain-storming ideas for topics and ways to present them. Eventually, we had to cut a lot of what we thought of, and we probably should have cut a little more! Our rule for planning Enrichment activites is this: It needs to be worthwhile, ie. when the ladies come, they will learn something, be uplifted or strengthened, etc. AND the activity needs to have a fun element that allows the ladies to interact with each other and create friendships and sisterhood. We always put a large flyer in the binders that get passed around each Sunday. We also hand deliver a small size of the same flyer to each woman's home the morning of the activity. We are blessed to live in an LDS-rich neighborhood with small ward boundries. (Oregon) We split the ward up into 4 sections and each presidency member delivers a route. We stick the flyer on the front door with painters blue tape. We include all the less-active sisters and are starting to see some tentative responses! It takes us each about an hour. (Here is the link to the Photoshop file I created to make the flyer. It won't show a preview of the file, but you should be able to download it and edit it in Photoshop.) As the ladies entered the Cultural Hall, they had to pass through an obstacle course to be inducted into a "tribe." (When they finished the course, we gave them a colored strip of fabric to tie around their arm.This way we were able to make the tribes as even as possible. As the women were trickling in, we started playing Jeopardy. We divided the ladies in half for the teams. The game was a lot of fun, with a lot of hilarious answers. If we were to do this over, we would cut it down to 2-3 categories. 5 categories made the game last too long. Next up, the ladies divided into one of three tribes, based on the color fabric band on their arm. We moved over to the relay area. There were 4 obtacles to work through. We allowed the ladies to work in pairs at each station, but one station had to be completed before the next pair could start. The stations were: Food Storage, Gardening, Building a Shelter and Wilderness Survival. Relay course along left side of the gym We didn't specify to core the apples and one team crammed their apples in the jars, core and all! We weren't super picky about correct answers. Just that they named every seed. We thought about having each team put up a dome tent, but it would take up too much room. We put really long strings on the poles. There was a small magnet on the end of the string to attach to the paperclip on the fish. This was the funniest part of the evening! These ladies were such good sports. After a laughter-filled relay, we went back to the chairs and to a 5 minute synopsis of 72 hour kits. We had two ladies in the ward show their kits. They both go about theirs very differently from each other, but are very thorough and prepared. It was nice to see some options! A pack for each family member vs. a large kit for the family. The thought behind what is in each kit is unique, as well. Following that was a short crash coarse in Dutch Oven cooking. The man who taught it was really concise and interesting. After his words, everyone got to taste the yummy lasagna and cornbread that he had made in his dutch ovens. We also provided apple crisp as dessert.

These two (2) Introductory Presentations provide teachers with an overview of how we support struggling students, which for us in New Jersey, includes the I&RS (Intervention and Referral Service) Committee Process and RTI Model. Included are: RTI PowerPoint Presentation I&RS PowerPoint Presentation Intervention Checklist for Teachers Teachers will better understand how both the RTI and I&RS Team Process works, be better prepared for the meeting, and become empowered as teachers to participate in both purposeful and meaningful problem-solving discussions about student concerns. Also included is an overview defining the differences between student modifications and accommodations, as they relate to requests for assistance. After viewing these presentations, teachers will be better equipped to articulate their concerns about struggling students, be better versed on how to document relevant information, and be able to participate in both meetings and discussions more effectively. Also is included a "Teacher Intervention Checklist," designed to assist teachers with organizing and documenting interventions being used in the classroom for struggling students. Interventions are categorized by the following: • Content/Material Interventions • Instructional Interventions • Organizational Interventions • Assessment Interventions • Behavioral Interventions This resource will assist teachers with communicating their concerns, documenting assistance provided, and developing instructional and supportive materials as part of an RTI action plan. We've used these PowerPoint Presentations to in-service staff on procedures and expectations for this RTI approach. We've also used the presentation before parent teacher conferences, to assist teachers with communicating effectively with parents and/or guardians.
