Opener

Materials
Strips of Paper
Cups
Writing Utensils

Procedure

At the start of the workshop, strips of paper were handed out to the girls to write down all the negative things that hold them down….only they would see the list. The girls were asked to fold the strips of paper and put them in a cup.

Ice Breaker

Materials

Hand-Held Mirror
List of Positive Affirmations

Procedures

Gather the papers and tell the girls to now focus on the reason Chicktime is there… to teach them about positive affirmations and how they can help them to move forward … dream big…and claim who they were called to be.  Share personal things that have weighed heavy on your heart and have kept you from reaching your dreams at times. Then explain how positive affirmations changed your heart and attitude. To help the girls practice making positive affirmations, pass a mirror around so the girls can look in the mirror and loudly proclaim affirmations they want to make. Have a list of positive affirmations to assist them if needed.

Procedure

Use a Polaroid Camera and have volunteers help take pictures of all the girls .

The conversations between volunteers and girls during this activity can be amazingly FABULOUS and REAL!
