I have served in Young Women’s for a long time. We’ve done A LOT of activities, but here are by far my favorite LDS Young Women activities that I think the girls in your ward will love as well. Check it out!

Sometimes the best activities for Young Women’s or youth nights require a little bit of extra work. Although not all of these activities are super difficult, they do require a little bit of planning. Thankfully, I’ve created printable packets for almost all of them, so most of the work has already been done. Let’s get started!

#1: Book of Mormon Murder Mystery

This is a great way to get your girls excited about reading their scriptures. This was definitely a hit and can be play as a combined young women or even all of the youth in your ward.

#2: LDS scripture escape room

I couldn’t find much stuff online on LDS escape rooms, so I basically created this one from scratch. The girls move from room to room solving clues about the scriptures. Everyone LOVED it!

#3: LDS Mad Libs

Most kids remember doing Mad Libs when they were little. This is the fun LDS version. I wrote 15 different Mad Libs stories that each girl can fill out and them read them out loud together. It makes for lots of laughs.

#4: Photo Scavenger Hunt

Break into teams at the mall or a big store and identify and take photos of items on your list. The team to get the most items on their list wins. It’s super fun and really easy prep.

#5: Career Night

These youth have a lot of big decisions to make in the next few years. That’s why a career night is a great way to help them start thinking about and preparing for the future. This activity was a big undertaking but it was wildly successful. Everyone loved it.

#6: Teaching Burger

Many of the youth struggle with teaching lessons on Sundays, so I designed a fun activity that teaches them how to teach. It’s called the Teaching Burger. It’s simple and fun. It only took about an hour and the girls felt more confident about teaching afterwards.

#7: My Sister’s Closet clothing exchange

This is the kind of activity that ALL of the girls love. Each of the Young Women donated clothes, jewelry, shoes and other fashion and beauty items from their closets. On the night of the activity, every got to come and fill a bag with items they wanted. The rest was donated to good will. It was awesome!

#8: LDS Family Feud

This is a great activity to play with the Young Men. Divide into teams and answer LDS-related trivia questions. This entire game is printable so you don’t have to deal with electronics. So fun.

#9: Thank you notes for temple workers

This is a fun service activity. Just leave a cute thank you note and a treat on the cars parked at your closest temple.

#10: Where’s Waldo

Divide into groups at a large department store and find disguised members of your ward wandering around. It’s super fun!

#11: Scripture Treasure Hunt

This is a fun activity that can be held in your church building. Each clue requires the participants to look up scriptures to find the next clue. This also works for primary activity days groups as well.

#12: Taste Test Challenge

All of the girls taste different food while blindfolded. The team to make the most correct guesses wins. This was definitely a hit and surprisingly easy to set up.

#13: Day of the Dead Family History Night

This is a great activity to do in October, but it also works any time of year. Feed the youth a nacho bar and then ask someone in the ward to set up an ofrenda and talk about their family history. Have the girls bring a family dessert and the recipe to share with everyone at the end.

#14: 1,000 Acts of Service Puzzle

Organize a service activity for the evening to kick off the 1,000 acts of service puzzle. Then, throughout the month, urge the youth to complete as many acts of service as they can. Each act of service completes a puzzle piece on the service puzzle. It was so fun to see this puzzle come and realize all the service the youth were performing.

#15: Minute to Win It

Minute to Win It games are a classic for a reason. Everyone loves them! We did this as an activity with the deacons and of course, it was a hit.

Bonus activity idea: Utah Temple Tour

If you’re looking for a bigger activity for girls camp or youth conference for example, a Utah Temple Tour is awesome. The youth can try to do baptisms at as many temples in Utah as they can in one day. This is a great way to help the youth develop a love and testimony of the temple.

I hope you like these LDS Young Women activities. All of them were honestly so much fun to prepare. It was so fun seeing all these girls grow spiritually and create friendships that will last a lifetime. Let me know if you have any favorite activity ideas in the comments below.

Sometimes it’s hard to think of an easy and fun activity that your LDS youth or primary kids would like. That’s why I love leaving temple notes for temple workers. It’s a great way to serve our temple workers and reminds everyone of the importance of attending the temple. Here’s how to do it.

Every Tuesday, I work at the Mount Timpanogos Temple as an LDS ordinance worker in American Fork, Utah. I know I would love it if I were to receive a thank you note on my car after a five-hour shift. This is such an easy service to perform but can have such a lasting impact on so many people. Check it out!

Download and print your thank you tags

I designed a really simple thank you tag that you can attach to a sample bag of candy. Each tag is 2.58″ wide x4.69″ tall and there are six to a page. Simply click on the link at the end of this blog post to purchase, download and print these thank you tags.

I also added an inspirational quote from President Russell M. Nelson that reads: “Every time you worthily serve and worship in the temple, you leave armed with God’s power and with His angels having charge over you.”

Cut and attach candy to each tag

Although there are only six thank you tags per page, you can print as many copies of the tags as you want. Then simply cut each tag out and punch a hole in the top of each one with a hole punch.

Next, you’ll need to attach a small candy to each tag. You could simply staple a candy like a Tootsie roll or a Werther’s caramel to the tag. But I think it looks a lot cute if you place a few candies in a small cellophane bag (3″x4″) and tie it off with some ribbon.

Here are some candies or treats that you could give away with your thank you tag:

• Dove chocolates
• Werther’s caramels
• Hershey’s kisses
• Reese’s peanut butter cups
• M&Ms
• Skittles
• Tootsie rolls
• Homemade cookies
• Jolly ranchers
• Airheads
• Gum

You can include the assembling of the temple notes as part of your activity before you head off to the temple. Depending on which temple you are at, you could make as many thank you notes as you would like. You’ll just want to make enough so that everyone has a chance to participate.

Head to the temple and place on cars

Jump in the car and head to your nearest temple. Make sure you plan ahead and go on a day when your temple isn’t closed for cleaning. Divide into groups and spread out in the parking lot and place one thank you note under each windshield wiper of every car.

You will want to make sure an adult accompanies each group of youth or children. Remind everyone that they need to be reverent and respectful around the cars. Be careful when lifting the windshield wipers so nothing breaks. Make sure each note is secured under the wiper so that it doesn’t blow away.

I hope you have fun delivering these thank you notes for temple workers during your next activity. Let me know how it goes in the comments below.
