Relief Society Fiesta and Friendshipping Activity

To find out more about how to pull of a Relief Society Fiesta and Friendshipping Activity read below,

This seriously was the funnest activity and my Young Women really wished that it was a YW activity! It really would make for the funnest YW activity too. The women who came had a blast!

The purpose of the activity was to have a great time, sharing and tasting each others salsa and guacamole recipes and just have a fun time getting to know each other.

Decorations, we just had everyone on the committee bring whatever fiesta type decorations they had. We decorated the table we would have the salsa on & the board behind it.

The food.... we asked sisters to bring their favorite salsa and guacamole. The committee provided all of the chips. We had these little plastic containers that they could put the guacamole or salsa in (the containers were just purchased at Walmart).

We also had virgin pina colada drinks, with cute straws. Here is the recipe for the drinks:

STRAWBERRY PINA COLADA:
Source unknown
Makes about 6 servings

2 cups frozen strawberries and 1 cup fresh stawberries
1/3-2/3 cup water
1/2 can cream of coconut
15 oz pineapple juice
3 cups ice
1/2 cup half and half

Ina blender combine strawberries and water until smooth. Scoop in separate bowl and set aside. combine coconut, pineapple juice, ice and half and half until no large ice chunks exist. Add strawberries in and top with cream. 

For the activity we did a couple things. First, we all stood in a two lines facing each other. We played a game where questions were asked, such as if you like reading books more than watching movies come to this side, or if you would rather vacation on the beach then the mountains, come to this side.

After that game we did speed friendshipping. Where we were in the two lines and partnered up with the person in front of us. We were given a sack and 1 minute to ask the person in front of us questions from the sack. Then when the time was up. One of the rows shifted to the right and you had a new partner to do it all over again with. Instead of sacks you could sit at a table and have the printables pasted on kabob sticks and put the sticks in glass jars.

Next, we had a pinata!!! You guys it was seriously so fun to see the sisters hitting the pinata and then when it broke, it was a mad dash to the floor to get all of the goodies!! It was stocked with all kinds of chocolates, gum, hand sanitizer, etc.

The goal of making friendships and having a good time as Relief Society Sisters was definitely accomplished!!!
