children & youth bulletin board

My chapel’s a bit of a fixer upper.

Many Saturdays have been spent decorating and tidying up the spaces that are ours, (the yw organization’s) and there’s a lot of them!!!

There’s only one ward that meets in our building, so instead of us fighting over who gets each bulletin board and space, we lament at how many there are for us to fill.

I think right now we have 5 to go? 

Yep. 🤦🏻‍♀️ So brace yourselves for a ton of bulletin boards in the shop! 

I felt like a good one for them could be Children & Youth/#strivetobe themed lineup, but recognized that the bright and flashy colors may not suit everyone. So this kit was created with a splash of flowers, femininity, and lots of super fun stuff!!

You will love the beautiful quotes and posters and how many options there are for decorating. Here’s a quick overview of everything inside!

Strive To Be Poster

In so many sizes! I did research on all the shops and different places to print things and made PDFs & PNGs accordingly.

A big purpose of this bulletin board is to look nice, to make our building look nice and be informative for when visitors and investigators may come.

Not everyone in your ward has probably watched Elder Gong’s Face2Face, and if they aren’t a member, no matter how cute it is, strive to be will mean nothing to them. 

So this poster adds a little something to the meaning of everything we do, say, learn and teach here. It’s all about becoming more like Christ!

Luke 2:52 Poster

It’s fitting that for the program based on this scripture, there’s an art print for you to put on a bulletin board that goes with it.  This has flowers and calming, cool colors like the rest of the printables you’ll receive. 

Strive To Be Banner

This has the cutest colors and will be great for filling in any extra space in your bulletin board. I love how the “to” is one word in cursive, it turned out great. Cute cute!! 

Goal Arrows/Process

These come from the children and youth guidebook and describe the goal setting process. I like how they promote actually planning out the goals instead of sitting back and just expecting your life to change. You gotta plan and carry out the plan. Or as they say, discover, plan, act, repeat!

Goal Setting Planning Sheet

You don’t have to put this on the bulletin board, it’s a bit open ended and can be used as a handout, decoration, be put in a frame for a whiteboard, etc. If you don’t know what to do with it, you could write a quote or scripture about each category in each margin.

I would do:

• Physical // Know ye know that ye are the temple of God? (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
• Social // When ye are in the service of your fellow beings, ye are only in the service of your God. (Mosiah 2:17)
• Spiritual // Seek ye first the kingdom of God. (Luke 12:31)
• Intellectual // The glory of God is intelligence. (D&C 93:36)

If you noticed that every verse referenced Heavenly Father, you’re right! 🔆🔆 As 1 Co. 10:31 says, “Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” We want to  mindfully set goals that will help us become more like Him. 

SMART Goals & Quote Sheets

These three printables are designed to help inform and encourage the youth as they set their goals. We have a #strivetobe challenge quote, a quote from President Nelson, and a SMART goals printable. They turned out so cute and I hope you enjoy!

Illustrations 

These are a lil big for a reason — if you have any awkward space that needs filling, add in an illustration going along with the four focus areas.

If you want to set up your own bulletin board or you have a spare, try this kit!
