Value Mall Logosm

We used this idea for our New Beginnings, it WAS GREAT!! We had so many parents tell us is was great! Be based the idea off another one read on a LDS YW yahoo group, they said:

We asked each advisor to take a Personal Progress value and prepare a “sales pitch”, (if you will), about what makes that value so important.
We asked them to plan on about 5 minutes. We thought about asking a Laurel to also be with them to talk about one experience she learned from or her 10 hour project for that particular value.  She should only take 1 or two minutes tops. We did not end up doing that  we thought it might take up to long, and to tell you the truth, I don’t think there would have been enough time, but just an idea for you)

We asked them to please decorate their store (they each we given a room).  They could do whatever they liked. They could go crazy or keep it simple.  A little table display is just perfect.

We asked them to please prepare a little handout to go in the girls’ shopping bags.  For instance – in the Kay Jewelers store (which is Virtue & going with the idea that the Virtue value color is GOLD) we thought about giving out a gold wrapped Hershey’s kiss.  They would be in a candy dish with a sign beside it that says “Every KISS begins with Kay” using the store’s slogan. (we ended up giving something else out, you can see that down in the Virtue area) The handout does not have to be an item.  It can be a thought on a card or whatever they come up with.
The girls and their parents were divided into small groups – all starting in a different store – and rotating through each store.  So the “sales pitch” several times.
Then we all come back together in the Relief Society room for the final store, which will be Kay’s Jewelers and the Virtue value.
After that presentation we had refreshments in the food court and enjoy treats from the Cinnabon store and Orange Julius.

For dessert after it was over, we opened our final 2 stores, Cinnabons and Orange Julius. We bought Rhodes frozen rolls and baked them at the church then got clear plastic containers at a bakery and place the rolls in there. We made orange julius on the spot. (we measured everything and had 3 blenders ready to go) We served about 100 people. It when REALLY well.

These are the label we put on the containers for the rolls ( I forgot to take a picture at dessert time)
