This is not a Sunday School primary lesson, so you don’t need to do a long lesson to fulfill this Faith in God requirement. Put the ACTIVITY back in Activity Days! I often have my activities do “double duty” and also be a Serving Others or Developing Talents activity too (such as when you do fitness). Just let each girl count it one time, in the category that they are in need of.
For the star colors, green = completely planned, blue = link to another site, red = just an idea.
A
means THE cost is LESS THAN 25 cents per kid!
Atonement
Making Sacrament Bread
Resurrection Eggs
Baptism
Have the girls contribute to a “baptism book.” They might hand write the story of their own baptism, draw a picture of what happened, include a photo, write a poem, etc. Give a copy to each child in the ward just before they turn eight.

Goals and Aspirations
I Can Be
Bad Habit Bonfire
Make “vision boards” for goals or resolutions using pictures from magazines. You could use the verse describing Christ as a youth as a jumping off point (Luke 2:52: WISDOM (What can I learn?), STRENGTH (How can I strengthen my body?) FAVOR WITH GOD (How can I grow closer to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ?) and FAVOR WITH MAN (How can I become a better friend?)
Talk about goal setting and how to set measurable goals. Make a few of these simple DIY Picture Holders to hold an index card with their current goals. Encourage them to put the goals in a place where they will see them often.

Act out a scripture story, make a movie, share with primary.
Have each girl pick a favorite short scripture (you may want to think of some options ahead of time) and make a decorative poster or wall hanging of the scripture for their room. You could have the scriptures already printed, or learn calligraphy as part of the activity.
Learn the story of Esther and celebrate the Hebrew holiday of Purim. Also, here is a picture and coloring page to use too!
Make “Holy Week Kits” by gathering the materials for the activities in this plan, and then have the girls explore holy week with their family at home.
Offer to host sharing time shortly before Easter. The activity before that Sunday, cut out hands to make these hosanna palms with the primary children. Rehearse the story of Palm Sunday as a skit with one girl narrating this children’s version (complete with one of the the girls pretending to be a donkey!). At sharing time, have the girls help the kids make their palms, and then do the skit with everyone participating.
Recreate a scripture story using Legos (Nephi Builds a Boat, Samuel the Lamanite on the Wall, etc.)

Temples
T is for Temple
Architecture of Temples – watch this video on the process of building temples, talk about temple architecture, and look at at pictures of a variety of temples. Then, have the girls be architects and design their own temples. You can just create “blueprints,” or go farther and make scale models out of wood, sugar cubes, legos, cardboard, etc.!
Visit with the groundskeeper for a temple and learn about plant biology, plant spacing, what flowers are planted where, when, and why, etc.
