Worthy Thoughts


Okay, I'm having way too much fun, now! I came across this idea during my research for the Young Women Manual 1 Lesson 34 on Worthy Thoughts for a monopoly and Young Womenopoly and it had my mental wheels turning and turning and I couldn't wait to do something with the idea. Many, many years ago I had made a monopoly themed Christmas family newsletter. In the spaces I had put things about our family from that year. Because I didn't have a color printer, yet - in fact, I don't think they were even a common household item at that time - I hand-colored 100 family newsletters that year.

So, now here is a YW themed monopoly handout! I've included a few extras, like a Monopoly Template, a square version of the YW monopoly board, in case you would like to use it someone during your lesson, and the Young Womenopoly handout. ENJOY!

Here is the handout in jpg.
Here is the handout in pdf.
Here is the game in square version (without quotes) in jpg.
Here is the Monopolgy Template in pdf. I know that this is probably not customizable, so if you want the publisher version emailed to you, then make a comment below and I'll send it to you.

I made the board game in Publisher, I used a scanned copy of a scrapbooking page I had purchased years ago - probably at Hobby Lobby, to make the background behind the quotes, and I used a program called "MyTypeArtist" to make the heading "Young Womenopolgy," which I later noticed has all of the YW value colors, not counting white and if you consider the pink to represent the purple. LOL! The clipart I have from clipart CD's I purchased years ago at an LDS bookstore, except the Earth and the Outer Darkness I found online at About.com. - Which I only used Outer Darkness to represent going to jail, but didn't use anything else negative because I wanted the whole idea to be more positive. :)

  2. One more thing...did you actually play this game with your young women? If so, what did you use for the cards in the draw pile and what were the rules?

  9. I am so sorry, Amanda. When my computer crashed a few years ago I lost the publisher file. Also, we didn't play it as a game, we just used it as a handout.
