Well, here are some of the best ones that I've done:1. Everybody comes wearing their pajamas and brings their favorite book to share, a pillow, a flashlight, and a blanket. You turn out all the lights, get comfy, and share what you like about your book (if it's short enough, you even read it)
2. Everybody uses placemats and ribbon to make scripture bags
3. Actually, I can't think of any more :P I'll tell you if I can think of others.
Night sledding is fun. We're doing that tomorrow. But that's more of a combined YM/YW thing. Once, we did a Christmas party in July, just cuz we could. It was awesome.
Oh, that's another one that I just remembered! There was one time when we had combined YM/YW dodgeball tournament ... that was surprisingly good!
OH! I love going ice skating combined! One activity that we did recently is making/decorating cookies for the inactives. It was so fun! ANd also, try learning how to crochet scarfs. You can count that as Personal Progress KNOWLEDGE! YAY!
Wow great ideas. thanks. did u guys know that sledding is illeagal to do as an activity. our bishop said "no Sledding. people can get hurt" we were all dispointed. one time our ward played dodge ball and it was horrible. the girls just stood in the back and didnt do anything. the boys got mad at us. lol
yeah. but u can go ice blocking. i dont even know what that is. but they say its more dangerous than sledding.
I asked my friend, and she says that its amazing and quite dangerous.
Iceblocking is where you slide down a hill...on a big block of ice. Yep. You can do it any time, even in the summer, as long as you have ice. I've never done it, but it sounds scary. Have you ever tried sliding down a hill on a pizza box? my brothers and cousins did it, and they wore a hole through the cardboard.
Awesome! THe pizza box one. I WANT TO DO IT! Did they do it on snow, or just a regular box?
We were on a picnic in the mountains, so it was just a kind of dirt slope. But you could prolly do it on snow.
Oh, another fun/useful YW idea is to have a "secret grandma night". We are doing it and its so much fun! Each YW chooses an older sister from their ward and invites her to the secret grandma dinner. :D I hadnt heard of it until now... Its very creative.
Ooh--one that's always fun is Etiquette night. A fancy dinner is prepared/catered (when I did it, the Activity Days girls cooked it, I think...) and then you have to follow proper manners all thru dinner (YM escort YW, table manners, etc.) We even invited the missionaries.
Lolz, we had a 'date' night combined, where we sat boy-girl-boy-girl, and then they served us dinner, and we had to pretend we were on a group date. It was really fun, and not awkward xP. Well, I was late, so I missed the lectures... but... it was fun xP
That would be sooooooooooo much fun! I think we will do an Etiquete night this year. IM SO HAPPY! On Wednesday, we are going to the Draper Temple open house! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whoa--I'm going to the Draper Temple open house THAT SAME NIGHT!!! Think we'll see each other there? (even if we did, we wouldn't know it...)
haha lol.for YW last thursday we played sardines in our old stake buliding. it is 2 floors. it was way fun. but that might not be so appropriate for the church.
Wow. Sardines sounds like SO MUCH FUN!!! We played that before we moved in to our house. There was no furniture or anything, and we could hide in closets and bathtubs and furnace rooms and everything!!! BUt you're right, it wouldn't be that appropriate in an actual church building.
Haha. that sounds really fun, maybe not appropraite in a church building, but that sounds soooo fun!
I know! Sardines is like the best game ever! And how funny would it be if we did see eachother.... ha ha ha! Yeah, we would have no idea!
Actually it turns out I'm not going. :( :( :( *sob!* I have to go to my high school orientation instead. I'm going to Bingham. Oh joy. I REALLY need the extra stress of deciding exactly what classes I'm going to take my whole life RIGHT NOW. Instead of going to the temple. I'll go with my family later, though.....
Bingham? no way. that's cool. i would go to Lehi when i am in high school but i want to go to Timpanogos, because my dad teaches there and coaches, but I still have 2 1/2 years to decide.
Im going to Payson. BUt thats a tiny town that you probably havent heard of. :D Yeah for tiny towns!!!!!!!!!!!!
Actually I have heard of it--my mom was born there! And I think we may have driven though it once.

Coolio! I was born in Spain.
You guys are funny. Through messages 31 through 34, you managed to not really say anything! But that's still awesome, Cristi.
Thank you! *takes bow* I love doing that!
Kaboodle. And Kasnorkle. THose are my two made up sound effects.
ok i have an idea for a yw activity..today me and my yw were are going to this place called soldier's hollow. it's this huge sledding hill! so you could go sledding for an activity!
Last night at BYC we were planning activities and we came up with one. THe bigger and better scavenger hunt. Every group gets a penny and you go to the houses in your ward and say "do you have anything bigger or better than this?" So they will give you their junk (like refrigerator boxes and stuff). THen you see who got the biggest or best (most unique). AND THEY WIN!
Ohhh I love that game! I played it for my friends birthday party. it was so fun! and my group won! the biggest thing we got was a 5$ well before that we got a big package of Oreos then we traded it for a $5! It was so fun!
