If you are speaking about a particular subject with your girls, and you feel that your point would be further enhanced with an illustration, consider showing a video from GodTube or YouTube. You can begin your lesson with the video to make an immediate impression or start discussion, or talk about your point, then illustrate it with a video.

Just as an example, consider the topic of beauty and how media images set a standard that is imposed upon girls and women. You can show the following video from Dove’s Campaign for Real Beauty about airbrushing to illustrate how media images alter what we know of reality.

Other examples: use a music video as a fun opening, or background while they think; play a video of a current event, such as news coverage on a school shooting to get discussion started, and help the girls to express their thoughts and feelings on the subject then lead into a Biblical Christian response in times like these or pray; if you feel someone else has said something better than you can say it show that someone else in a video clip.
