St Patricks’s Day Progressive Dinner
Each of the Young Women leaders made something that was green for a progressive dinner. We started at the first leader’s house and had green salad. Then we went to the next leader’s house and ate green Jell-O with green rolls. Then we had green chicken enchiladas at the next leader’s house. Finally, we finished with dessert at the last…
International Cuisine Night
We assigned various members of young men and young women a country. (Some of the youth we chose were the ones that had siblings in YM or YW–so two of them could make something together). We asked them to prepare a dish (dessert, appetizer, or main course item,etc.) that is from that country. We gathered information from the Internet about…

Some of the ideas our mutual came up with: Noah’s ark (make an ark out of cake, had fish in the water, made animals out of…

We had about 30 youth, and their leaders from YM and YW. After the usual mutual opening, the entire group was given the purpose of the night’s activity. They were…
Modesty Activity
I specifically chose actresses that are near the age of our girls, role models that they may idolize. I then went on line and found paper dolls with clothing that was not modest. At the meeting we gave the girls the paperdolls that we had collected and after a short lesson on modesty asked them to take the immodest clothing…
