YW Leadership Idea

Each month at our Young Women activity planning meeting we have a Leadership moment to teach the girls different aspects of a leader. I used this idea a few months ago when the meeting was at my house.

I had a coat rack with like 20 different hats (luckily between my son and I we had quite a few, then I borrowed more from family) for them to choose from. I had each of the girls pick a hat to wear, then read a description that corresponded with each hat of a quality they as a Young Women Presidency member would need to possess.

For instance:

• Fireman hat-calming an argument
• Construction hat-building people up
• Sombrero-fiesta, enjoy yourself
  
• Pirate-take control in rough seas
• Tiara-make decisions
• Mafia (plastic fedora)-have each others back
• Wheaties baseball cap-wholesome thoughts and activities
• Visor-helps us see clearly
• Snow hat-help others have a warm snugly feeling
• Roots hat from the Olympics-coming together with one goal
• Easter hat-not being afraid to show spiritual side
• Sparkly winter hat-let your personality sparkle
• Beach hat-sunny, good attitude

You can make something up for any hat.

I then printed each girl the following hat handout to take home.

BTW, it is my 5 year wedding anniversary today! Love you babe!
