Our current group of girls do well on short focused activities. We planned a gospel game night. Five games. Ten minutes each. Two of the activities were done together as a large group. For the other three, the girls were split into groups and took turns rotating through.
Station 1 (as a whole group): Building temples using mini marshmallows and toothpicks
Station 2 (as a whole group): Church history BINGO. Bought for $5 from Susan Fitch Designs.
Station 3 (rotation): The card game "In the Beginning." The game is essentially identical to the card game Garbage, but with the days of creation instead of cards 1-10. You could make your own cards with a bit of effort since this game doesn't seem to be available for purchase anymore.
Station 4 (rotation): Articles of Faith fill in the blank. Various articles of faith are put on the board with key words missing. The girls are shown various word strips and need to fill in the correct word in the correct blank.
Station 5 (rotation): Would You Rather Scripture Edition. This one was rather fun in that it opened an opportunity to talk about different bible stories that the girls were not familiar with. Also, it allowed the leader to get to know the girls more by hearing the reasons for their choice.

I did my math incorrectly and realized too late that I planned 50 minutes of activities instead of 60 minutes. But it turned out ok because that allows for prayer, beginning buffer time, and transition time. We also played an extra round of BINGO at the end while we waited for parents. The girls enjoyed eating their temples and the extra marshmallows :).
