Mutual Activity Ideas

I have had a lot of fun with mutual! Mutual is where the young women and young men do activities all together. Sometimes by age group, sometimes by gender, and sometimes everybody does an activity together.

I found these really fun mutual activities online. Thought I'd share them with you. Some of these you could also use for parties and stuff.

P Night- This is for Personal Progress. Talk about why Personal Progress is important. Than for the rest of the night, do things that start with P. Wear pajamas, eat popcorn, peanut butter, pie, etc.

Modesty Exchange- Have the girls bring clothes, shoes, shirts, pants, jewelry, etc. and have them trade things with other girls. Tie this in with a modesty lesson.

Tie Dye- Have the girls bring a shirt, pillow case, or anything white to tie-dye. You can buy really cheap tie-dye kits at wal-mart for $10 or less. You can also wear these to girl's camp!

Matching Pajamas- Have the girls all make matching pajama pants- use these in girl's camp!

11 year old night- invite some 11 year old girls to the activity. Give them make overs and bond and play games with the 11 year old girls to show them how fun young women's is!

Where's Waldo?- Gather at a small store if beehives, mall or bigger store is older young women. Have 1 (or more) leader/s go somewhere in the store. Split the young women in groups (if beehives, have each group with a leader for adult supervision) to go around the store finding "waldo."Each time Waldo is found, have Waldo hide again! If you want, have each team keep score. By curfew, count up points to find winner.

Sidewalk chalk- Have the girls draw with sidewalk chalk. However, their drawing has to do with their testimony/what they believe with the church, or something they enjoy about being in Young Women's.

Trip to heaven- Have the leaders set this up ahead of time. Have them leave index cards outside the church in bushes, trees, etc. with hints to the next clue. Some Index cards may say, "you hit bump in the road, you must wait for 15 seconds before you can move on," and things like that. Then, have the young women split up in teams so get to the end of the scavengar hunt. This will be like trying to go to heaven. Explain how getting to heaven may have challenges along the way.

You may also create a board game version of this, though it may take time.

There were a lot more, but this were my favorites!
