    Ep 4: Making your trip magic

    Episode 4 with Katie and Taylor Wood! This week make sure to study chapters 4, 5, 12, and appendix C of the toolkit!! Here is a list of ideas on how to love your builders from Katie and Taylor as well so you have them all in one place: Daily Spiritual Habits     •    Kneeling prayer every night     •    Family hugs every night     •    Use the Builder Handbook (activities + talks in the back)     •    Use a whiteboard for the daily schedule (set it out during breakfast) ⸻ Devotionals & Gospel Growth     •    Devotionals based on what your builders love (ex: sports-themed devo)     •    Question devo: builders submit anonymous gospel questions to study together     •    Write down a gospel question, put it in a hat, and answer one as a group     •    Lead discussions that apply to real life at home (scripture study tips, applying what they learned, etc.)     •    Print the Restoration Proclamation (mini version to keep in scriptures) and study it together     •    Give each builder a printed General Conference talk tailored to them/their struggles     •    Prayer activity: everyone writes something they want prayed for, then others randomly pick one and pray for them     •    Bring hard cover Books of Mormon and let builders decorate them     •    Add paint, personal touches, pictures of family     •    Mark favorite scriptures for each other ⸻ Building Connection & Unity     •    Bus buddies     •    Table/bus seating assignments (rotate)     •    Builder ministering: each person draws a name and intentionally serves that person all day     •    Spotlight birthdays: celebrate 1–2 builders each day (songs, letting them go first, extra attention all day)     •    Text parents at the end of the trip sharing what you love about their kid ⸻ Fun Activities     •    S’mores night     •    Watch the sunrise together one morning     •    Boys & girls day (separate vans, meals, and end with a separate devo/Q&A)     •    Final night celebration: fancy dinner, dress up, take pictures, awards      •     Paper plate awards at the end of the trip     •    Spotlight days (birthday-style celebrations for each builder)     •    Karaoke night     •    Skits/performances by committees (have parent builders judge)     •    Art night (painting, colored pencils, etc.)     •    Bracelet making / hair wraps / beads     •    Spa night
