My new position in church is Relief Society Program maker and I volunteered to help put together a program for a story telling conference. So today’s How to” topic is how to create a simple program book. I will reference the story swap in my examples.
Many people will create a word default page that will split the page into half right from the beginning. Sometimes it seems to make the text easier to reader when the length of sentences fills half a page rather than a full page when there is small text.

Melva Gifford: Traits of a Hero:
Traits of a hero is a workshop illustrating to the audience three traits of a Hero: Brains, courage and perseverance. We reference popular children’s books and compare heroes of history.
Traits of a hero then wraps up by having the group solve a make believe scenario. Students must employ the knowledge of science, history, social studies and problem solving skills obtained in school to solve the scenario of ‘Save the Wizard’.
I included photos of people laughing as that is a common trait of storytelling and the logo of the company, Kneaders, who is providing the meal. A fellow teller has made a wonderful grid that would be nice to have in the center of the program book for quick access.
If you have free space you might be able to provide relevant information that would promote the organization that the program is about. Or maybe some cute picture to provide ‘white space’ and to add variety in the program.
What else do you feel needs to be added to this topic? Please feel free to share your ideas.
