Make bookmarks for their Books of Mormon. I cut out construction paper in the
size of a bookmark, then printed out the Books of the Book of Mormon and put a fancy border on it and
cut them out with scalloped scissors. They glued this to one side. On the
other side, I printed a place for them to write their name, and the following
question for them to answer. What is their favorite Book of Mormon
Story, Who is their favorite Book of Mormon Person, What is their favorite
Book of Mormon Scripture. They glued this to the bookmark. I had them punch
a whole in the top and we put three pieces of yarn and I had them braid
it as a tassel.
Another bookmark idea - Someone had
used a Polaroid camera & taken pix of each young lady, trimmed it,
then they had chosen a scripture and someone quickly typed it up along
with a fresh (very small) flower (or flower petals), some ribbon. Placed
all of the above on the sticky side of some clear contact paper and then
put another contact on the back.
