BIRTHDAY GIFT IDEAS:

 Birthday Postcards by Sharlee Ritz
 Brownies in a Bottle by Shannon Allen
 Buy a fancy balloon and use the child's favorite candy as the weight.
 I give each girl a gift when they turn twelve and leave the program. It could easily be a birthday gift, as well. I buy an inexpensive small photo album. I have found great ones at Ross. They are just the kind the girls love...with faux fur and things like "princess' or "angel" on the front. They are about $3.99 each. You could probably find them at a dollar store as well. I make sure  I take lots of photos of our Activity Days activities. I get double prints or scan them and put photos of them in their books! It makes a nice keepsake of their Activity Days and their families love to see the activities we have done throughout the years. (Kath in California)
 I send them a homemade card for their birthdays and I try to acknowledge them at church the week of their birthday and tell them happy birthday.
 Party Popper Gift by Margie Woodruff
 We make a special tiny birthday cake for each girl when it's their birthday.  We write on it "Happy Birthday Emily" and they got to wear a little crown as they were the "princess for a day." The girls really looked forward to getting their very own little cake. (Mary Tingey)

 A years worth of activities by Rebecca Jones
 Activities for a year by Regina Slaugh
 Activity Day Ideas by Liz Lindsey
 Activity Day Ideas from the Friend Magazine by Tasha Reeves
 Calendar of Ideas by Kathleen Revoir
 We have a planning meeting every January where I've printed out various ideas in a big font and tape them around the room. Girls and parents are invited as are the incoming girls for the year. We write the calendar dates for our whole year on the chalkboard and allow the girls to take turns choosing activities they want to do - and placing them on our calendar. If they have an additional idea they can add that too. Depending on turnout - we allow the parents to choose activities too. We keep going until our year is completely planned. We take time to talk about activity days for the new girls and make sure we have everyone's contact information. The finalized calendar is passed out at our next meeting. We meet every other week throughout the year - so it's pretty regular to plan. (Idea shared by Sheridan Steffler / ga12162007)

NEWSLETTER IDEAS:

 I created a newsletter called the Activity Days Tribune! I send it out each month, sometimes twice and I send it to all the girls individually! I send it to the same house twice if I have to, if there are sisters. My girls love getting stuff in the mail. In the newsletter I include birthdays, upcoming events and activities, a spot light which centers on a different girl each newsletter and tells all about her, (likes, dislikes, hobbies, favorite things, her family, etc.). THEY LOVE IT! It also has a spot for the parents that tells them about our activities and important things they should know. Like if the girls need to wear tennis shoes and not sandals.

 How to be a great Activity Day Leader
 I write notes to my girls about once a month. Just something simple -- thanks for helping to clean up, I appreciate your kindness to a younger child, I noticed that you were sitting reverently at church, etc. If a girl has a birthday coming up, I'll write them a special birthday card and send it. They LOVE getting mail! (Credit Unknown)

 Where to get ideas - Many of great ideas for activities can come from library books. Look for books on children's parties, or check the juvenile book section for various topics like crafts, activities, etc.  Just go and wander up and down the isles in a section that looks promising. Other great sources for ideas are "The Friend" Magazine.  It has lots of great ideas including games. Another good resource for ideas is the Girl Scout Handbook, which can be purchased at the local Girl Scout Council.

SAMPLE SCHEDULES:

 I have enjoyed the following schedule with my Activity Day girls.  For most of the activities I schedule for 1 hour and 15 minutes.  When they arrive at my house I have them work on cross stitch or needlepoint projects for the first 10-15 minutes to allow all of the girls to get there.  We then say our opening prayer and work on memorizing one of the articles of faith for 5-10 minutes.  We then do our scheduled activity.  We then spend the last 5-10 minutes writing in our journals.  Shared by Jessica Williams  / ga09242007

 Activity Day Blog - LeAnn writes, "I have created a blog for our Primary Activity Nights... we have photos/descriptions of every activity and we have upcoming activities listed. It has been a great way for the 30 girls/parents to keep informed!! We take pictures of the girls that stay to help clean up... and we always have an on-time drawing, so we started to take pictures of that as well!!

WELCOMING IDEAS:

 "Introduction to the Faith in God Program" letter by Kim Ramey
 To welcome new girls coming into Activity Days with me I deliver a plain notebook (which I buy when they are on sale for 10 cents each) to them on their birthday.  I have a note taped to the front to welcome them to my Activity Day group and ask them to please have the front decorated by the time they come to our first scheduled Activity Day.  We then use the notebooks for journals.  (by Jessica Williams / ga09253007)
 Welcome Cans - An idea that I have, for welcoming new girls is to visit their house when they turn eight. I am making cans (soup or vegetable) that are covered really cute with embellishments and paper. I am tying the cans to helium balloons and filling them with a few treats, a scripture pencil, Articles of Faith bookmark, birthday card and the faith in God booklet. This is a happy birthday and welcome to activity days all in one! (Idea by Darlene)
 Welcome to the Activity Day Program! - they might feel more welcomed if something special is done just for them.  A cute basket or packet made for her might be just the thing.  Line basket with a cute fabric and add (Idea taken from Women's Conference):

- Activity Days booklet
- Upcoming Activity Days events
- Leaders names and phone numbers
- Welcoming letter from leader
- Scripture stickers. A lot of girls get new scriptures for their eighth birthday - they might be a fun new thing
- Favorite candy of new girl
- Small gift and letter from parent (may be a miniature Primary Song or Hymn Book)
- Article of Faith card
