I have had this idea tucked away since I got my calling. I looked all over the internet and pinterest to see if I could find an outline or lesson of some sort...but decided to make it up myself! This month's topic in Sunday lessons, has been on the Plan of Salvation and Pre-Mortal Life. Last week, I taught the lesson and read an article by Pres. Uchtdorf, about the influence and power of women for good. That went with the Super Hero theme perfectly.
We have a YW Facebook page, so my invite went like this: "This Week's Activity: Calling all Super Heroes! Yes-that means YOU!!! Meet at The Hall of Justice(the church) @ 7:00 PM in the Bat Cave(RS Room). Let me know if you need a ride in my invisible jet :-)"
So, we met at the church and I read them some of Pres. Uchtdorf's talk. Then we talked about Super Heroes and what qualities they possess. I tied in that the YW values can be seen as our own Super Powers, that were given to us at birth.
Each girl picked a value to be her Super Power of the night. I had felt in all the value colors, brought fabric markers and scissors, and they had to create their own costumes. They had to come up with a name, logo and how they would use their powers to "save the world!"
There were just enough girls for each one to have a different value. It worked out perfectly. I think they had a lot of fun coming up with their "alter egos".
