The Shoe Game
- Everyone takes off a shoe and piles it in the middle of the circle, room, etc.
- Then everyone takes a shoe
- Each person uses the shoe they chose to make inferences about the owner
- The owner of the shoe either confirms or denies
- example: (participant picks up a black stiletto with a red sole) “I think this person loves fashion and elegance. Black goes with everything so they’re sensible but the stiletto and red say this person has a sassy side as well.”
Height of Fashion
- Split everyone into 2 teams (or more depending on the size of your group)
- Each team will select a model
- Teams will use the supplies given to create a ‘look’ for their model. Supplies can include:

-May also use some fun accessories such as a feather boa, fun animal/character slippers, hats, sunglasses, costume jewelery, tube of bright red lipstick
- This is a timed event and when the time is up each model will catwalk down the ‘runway’ to narration on their style as provided by their group
- Spin off of what’s in your purse
- Can be done singly or in teams
- Whoever has the most points wins (score sheet template via link)
Balloon Pop
This game is best in a large, open room. It gets the women moving. Before the women arrive, prepare the balloons. Each balloon needs to have a scripture promise that is written on a slip of paper inserted inside of it before it’s inflated. Make each promise different because the women will share them at the end. Tie a string or ribbon about two feet long to each balloon. One balloon is tied to each player’s ankle. The players try to pop one another’s balloons without letting their own get popped. When a balloon is popped, the woman picks up her written promise and sits down. The last woman without a popped balloon is the winner. Share the promises with the group. This activity symbolizes the many times in life that “balloons” are popped, but God’s promises are always there.
