Activity Day Help


Alright sisters I need some help. So we try to plan fun things to do with the girls, but obviously sometimes things don't work out. Two times ago we made magnets and played a "unity" game. We put Disney characters on our back and then you had to go around and talk to everyone asking yes or no questions. The girls had an absolute blast. They loved it.
Yesterday we were supposed to go and do a tour of a local restaurant and eat some yummy. But last minute that wasn't going to work. So we played scripture pictionary and another game. We played the game where you have a small present wrapped in like a million layers and then you go around the room rolling 2 dice. When someone rolls doubles they have to put a hat on, oven mitts, and use 2 spoons to peel off the layers. Okay they LOVED that one. But so did I when I was in YW.
So here is where I need help. I need back up games that I can play as a just in case activity.
There were a ton of games we used to play in YW growing up.
Unfortunately the brain cells that should remember those games have clearly died or I gave them to my children during pregnancy ( you know so they can be super smart {wink}).
I remember there was a game we used to play where you have a pillow and you walk around the room blindfold sitting on peoples laps ( with the pillow under your bum) and then you say something and try to guess who the person is. Then that person is it. But I can't remember all the details or what you say. So to all of you who played games growing up that you loved that is not a board game, Please Please please share.
And to my peeps that I grew up with would you please refresh my Mom brain.
Thanks so much!



Eleven of my sweet girls playing! Okay they were super crazy with this game. I loved it!

Have you tried spoons? I don't remember how to play that one, but maybe you do. This one isn't a game , but an activity suggestion. Our girls came to my house after I had kolin and brought me a simple dinner that they had made and they got to hold the baby. It was so cute to watch them hold him! You could also have a babysitting day for the new mother's. You and the girls play with her kids for an hour so that she can shower.

Go to SugarDoodle.net. They are my lifesaver!! Tons of ideas. I just had had to do a mini training with our AD leaders and I got everything there. Oh and there is a site I think it's LDSActivityDays.com.

Good luck!!
