Mutual activity ideas?

[Gretchen]

Does anyone have any favorite mutual activity's? I hate to say it, but the activity's in my area are kinda dull, so I thought I'd see if anyone has any favorite activity's. Any and all ideas welcome.

Hmm I know for a summer activity, we got the volleyball nets adn took them outside in the grass. Then we played Water ballon volleyball! Each person pairs up with someone else and they each take one side of a towel. Stick the balloon on the towel and launch!! Multiple pairs are on each side though of course. Then we spent like 10 minutes cleaning up the popped balloons haha. It was fun.

As for the colder weather, we had a girls night!!! We had a girl that was a hair dresser from the ward come and teach us fun things to do with our hair like "teasing" and how to do it certain ways and hair care. And then we were taught how to put on face masks and had nail polish and all kinds of stuff! It was really fun we all wore pajamas and did the cucumber stuff. All kinds. It was great!

Ooo I thought of another one. This was one of those combined ones with the young men. Each group (deacons,beehives,miamaids, ect..) made their own skit video. Kind of like a Saturday Night Live thing. We could do whatever we wanted (leadership approved though) and then we all got together the next week in the gym with popcorn and pulled the projector out and watched all the skits!! The leaders previously made little tin foil trophy's and picked categories to hand out winners for. Best stunt, wittiest line, ect.

aerobics or dance?

one time we got a bunch of little kids in the ward and had told the parents to juss go on a date and we babysat them. we played games with them. it was easy and fun

another time we had a teaching talent show. everyone came and i think it was a joint all the girls activity. well anyways we paired up in groups of 2 and taught each other one of our talents and then the last 10-15 mins of the activity we put on a talent show with the talents we juss learned. talents included viola piano basketball

When I was in the YW's presidency we did a "Newlyweds" type game during either Mother's Day or Father's Day. The girls could come with any relative they wanted (Mom, aunt, or sister/Dad, grandpa, or uncle, etc.) somebody that they were close to. Then we would divide the girls from their family members and have them answer questions about eachother: "Where did your mom go to college" "What did your dad want to be when he grew up?" "What is your daughter's favorite food?" things like that, then we brought them back together and they had to see if they answered the questions right, and they got points for each correct answer. It was our most popular activity of the year, and the girls always had a blast.
