Because family is the world to our Little Lambs, I’m excited that we get to spend an entire meeting learning about families. My Family is one of the four main requirements to invest in Little Lambs. The requirements for investiture achievement patches are the same as the Little Lamb awards. Little Lambs earn one of…

Sharing Award: Little Lambs
Sharing can be a challenging topic with our Little Lambs. We often have very high expectations for our littlest ones. We expect them to drop a toy the minute another child expresses interest in it and think of a child who doesn’t as selfish. Considering this is a higher bar than we set for adults,…
Caring Friend Award
Most Helping Hands know the basics of being a friend, being kind to others, and using the golden rule. But we all need reminders on the whys and hows of being a good friend. The purpose of the Caring Friend award is to remind our kids of this basic life skill and to help them…

My God: The Good Shepherd
My God, My Self, My Family, and My World are the four themes the entire Adventurer curriculum is based upon. In Little Lambs, adventurers get to earn puzzle patches as they work through the investiture achievement requirements. The Little Lambs Leader’s Guide has two programs to fulfill the My God requirement. Only one meeting is…

Opening Circle Time Story: The Story of Creation Since we are focusing on creation, I wanted a book that covered…
Stars Award for Little Lambs

Gamify the Hygiene Award!
Confession: The Hygiene Award is not exactly one of my favorite awards to teach. And, that’s putting it politely. Suggesting that kids aren’t bathing enough or that their parents aren’t doing an awesome job teaching them these life skills is awkward at the best of times. Add in a bunch of opposing viewpoints on some…
Christmas Cards for Community Service
Most Adventurers enjoy making Christmas cards for service projects. I have created card-making kits for the kids who find drawing and writing intimidating.
Wooly Lamb Award
Wooly Lamb is a great award to start the year with. It also fits in nicely anywhere else in the year! It’s such a great award for Little Lambs that I schedule it twice in my two-year Little Lambs rotation. (Once per year..) This is one of my two programs for the Wooly Lamb award….
