I’m prepping for our 1st Secret Sister Sock Exchange and came across your site! Love the games and can’t wait to play….I think the “What’s On Your Phone” game will be a big hit, thank you!!!
I am a 1st time leader for the ladies at my church and I wanted to have a Christmas gathering, trying to get as many ladies to come out. Much to my surprise we have 90 plus ladies. When I got home from our meeting of 16 active ladies, I panicked thinking how am I going to have games for praying for 60 plus ladies. I was up at 4:30 am and the Lord took me right to your sight. Thank you so, God bless
Gayle, I love when God delievers exactly what we need quickly! 🙂 Praying your women will have a fabulous time of fellowship and fun!
Thank you so much Cyndee. I really appreciate you sharing like you are! We need these ideas. The ladies will have fun for sure. God bless.
You’re welcome, Sylvie! Praying your group has a great time with them! 🙂
great ideas! will be perfect for our women’s Christmas party.
