At church we have a program for young women (12-18 years) to develop character. They have various activities they can perform. One of the experiences they get to have is a chance to "strengthen your relationship with a family member by showing love through your actions". To help the girls I made up this Hugs & Kisses Kit. I did this around Father's Day so the girls could have a chance to focus on their relationship with their Dad if they wanted to. Since it's close to Father's Day I thought I'd share it with you. This activity lasts two weeks so I gave simple suggestions of what they can do to interact each day. Some of the activities are Day #7 Make a treat for this person, Day #11 Text a nice comment to this person, Day #2 Find out their favorites, Day #8 Talk about your favorite things to do in Summer. I designed these into 1/4 sheet handouts. They can put it on a ring to help them remember. I call it The Ring Thing™. I've made several for different topics to go on the Ring Thing which I'll share periodically. Here's a photo of my Ring Thing. Here's a PDF to download if you'd like to use it for some activity you have. It's a black and white PDF that you can print onto colored paper. Then you can cut it into 1/4 sheets.

Here's an idea to help teach youth leadership skills. I often have the opportunity to teach Young Women (YW) how to be leaders. I come up with a metaphor or object idea to go along with information from my church. This one is One Smart Cookie and trains on how to conduct a meeting. Add cookies with the handout. Here's a free 2 page download. Print page 1, back to back, with page 2. Fold along the vertical axis. Then cut along the horizontal axis. It creates two, 4.25" wide by 5.5" wide booklet. We punch a hole in the upper left corner and keep them on a metal ring. This way, they have the information all in one place for easy reference. I call it our Ring Thing.
