When Life Gives You Lemons Relief Society or Young Women Activity with Social Distancing Options [Free Sample Download]

“When life gives you lemons,” the old saying goes, “make lemonade.”

If you’re human, life’s given you a lemon or two, or, maybe a bushel or an orchard. From momentary problems to life-long challenges, the sourness of hurt, disappointment, despair, and pain are inevitable parts of living.

And during this time of social distancing and economic upheaval, many of our fellow members may be struggling. That’s the idea behind my newest printables. Inspire and uplift your Relief Society sisters, Young Women or ministering assignments with these new designs. (Scroll down to the bottom of this post for the download link to a free sample pack.)

You can use these “When Life Gives You Lemons” themed printables to build a girls camp, youth activity or Relief Society event.

The theme, “When Life Gives You Lemons,” is an opportunity to uplift and encourage. It’s all about providing support through stressful times. Use this activity idea to offer empathy for all types of suffering and to provide strengthening connections with others. Help develop faith and lift burdens. Hopefully, at the end of your event, those you serve emerge inspired to keep going, press forward with faith, and take care of each other.

Designed with playful lemon+straw artwork and bright stripes, these printables are just the thing to bring cheer and joy to your event.

In addition to all of these printables, I’ve adapted this activity idea to social distancing. You’ll find a Theme Resources document in the When Life Gives You Lemons Mega Pack as well as the Free Sample Download (below) that outlines several event suggestions for a drive-by event or handouts as well as more traditional activites.
