It is important to provide a wide variety of activities for the Young Women to participate in. It is important to plan activities where the young women can grow spiritually. These activities often work well when you plan the combined young women's activity. Here are five ideas for spiritual young women's activities.

1) You can have a night that focuses on the importance of temple marriage. You could have a young couple who were recently married in the temple speak, as well as an older couple. You should ask the speakers to focus on the blessings that they have seen in their lives as a result of being married in the temple.

2) Another great activity is going to the temple together as a class. This really allows the girls to recognize the sacredness of the temple. You should remind the girls to act respectfully in the temple. If you allow time for the girls to sit quietly in the temple, this should help them to feel the spirit as well.

3) Another wonderful spiritual activity is to have a musical program of church songs. You could sing together or have special musical numbers. You may incorporate this into a fireside on the importance of choosing proper music. You could also focus on music in New Beginnings or Young Women in Excellence.

4) You can have an activity that focuses on how much Heavenly Father loves each of them. You can focus on the importance that each individual has in this life. It is important to help the girls realize this, especially since so many teenagers struggle with their self-worth.

5) A great activity could focus on the life of the Savior. You could do this with art that depicts the Savior's life. You could read specific stories from the scriptures and have specific musical numbers preformed that help to bring the spirit in. You may want to end by allowing the girls to bear their testimonies if they want to.
