Art for Worship

Describe it...  

We had art for worship. We collaged and painted our praises and prayers. We also painted the name of each girl on the floor on a construction paper and wrote encouraging things on them telling them to finish strong because it was around the end of the year and put them on their doors. We also had some snacks.

Positive Outcomes: 

it was a good time to just take a break and focus on God and focus on encouraging each other amidst the craziness of the end of the year. And I'm pretty sure the girls liked the encouraging words put on their doors.

Not much really.

Free Half Off Appetizers at Applebee's

Describe it...  

We met and left for Applebee's at 8:45.  We ordered appetizers.  I used floor money to pay for the appetizers, and had previously told the girls that they could purchase a beverage on their own if they wanted one.   We were able to sit and talk.

Positive Outcomes: The girls enjoyed getting treated to some great food.   They really enjoyed having time to hang out and get off campus. 

What would you have done differently? I might do it earlier in the year so that more girls are free.  Many of them were very busy. 

Would You Do This Activity Again?  Yes, it was a lot of fun,  It was good getting to hang out with them. 

Movie and Bonfire at the Floor Parent's House

The floor went to the floor parent's house.  We projected the movie onto the side of the house and watched a movie from the lawn with a bonfire where we made smores.  It made a very last final floor event for us!
