Getting to Know You Party

Our third party was a "Getting to Know You" party. First we had an icebreaker activity. Then, as shown in the first photo, Ron taught the old Girl Scout song, "Make New Friends".



Each person was given a blank white tagboard paper doll cutout. Everyone was told to decorate the paper doll to look like him/her. The paper doll should have some objects drawn on it to represent interests or hobbies or something about the person's life. A few people were hesitant to get started, but they all wanted to show off their finished product! They were to tell the people at their table about why they drew what they did. This activity was to promote everyone getting to know each other better.





Towera is on the right.





Winfrida is on the left. Dotto is in the black shirt.

Everyone at the following table must have thought that one person was good at drawing noses, because every nose on the paper dolls at this table looked the same! Beatus is the man in the photo.

Next is Sophia and Dotto.

Next is Winfrida.

It is hard to see, but at the back right hand side, people are gathered around a table to decorate quilt squares with their names and whatever decorations they wanted to add. Everyone at the party rotated through this activity.

At the end of the party there were refreshments. Names were drawn for small prizes.
