Getting our YW Personal Progress Organized

Since I've been called as the YW President in my ward (which by the way...was a total shocker to me...but that's another story for another time). I have felt a VERY STRONG need to get our YW working on their Personal Progress. I am bound and determined to have each of my YW get their Young Women Medallions.
 Sooo...here's how we are getting started on it...
A PERSONAL PROGRESS PIE night. The girls HAD to have their PP books with them in order to get a peice of pie. Then with the help of my AMAZING 2nd councilor & Laurel class Presidency we came up with a Personal Progress folder that we had each of our YW put together that evening at mutual. We put EVERYTHING that we could think of that the YW would need to work on PP into this folder.
It was a lot of work and took a lot of time searching for items online for the folder BUT all in all, it was TOTALLY worth it!!
I am attaching a list of what we included in our PP folders for any of you who'd like to do the same for your YW. Feel free to use whatever you'd like from what we did to save yourself some time & energy.

After assembling their folders the YW scrapbooked covers for them. We just printed a couple different subway art pages that they could use on the covers and then let them decorate with whatever we had.

    I'm curious about the PP games. What Personal progress games did your girls play?
