Activity Days - Modesty Lesson

This last week for activity days, we had a lesson on modesty. We discussed what 'Modesty" was and what clothes were modest and which ones aren't. We discussed why we have these guidelines for wearing modest clothes and how we could make immodest clothes more modest. We did "Head, Shoulder, Knees and Toes" and taught how it can help them remember to be modest. When you touch your head, does your shirt show your belly? Shoulders: are they covered? Knees: are your skirts or shorts touching your knees (or close to it) and Toes: when you bend over, does your shirt show your waist and are your pants showing your bum?

Then we had two pieces of cardstock (one for modest clothing and one for immodest clothing) and the girls made collages out of the different clothing they cut from magazines. It was a great lesson and much needed for the girls. Not that they are immodest, but they really got into the lesson and asked many, many questions about what was okay and not okay to wear. As they cut out clothing they asked all kinds of questions and how they relate to them and their wardrobes.

I handed out this quote for their binders and then I gave the girls pop rocks with this tag attached to it.
