I have attended a number of luau's in my grandparents backyard. They lived for a few years in Samoa. I was little at the time and wasn't allowed out in back to much (it was always just for the adults of the ward, but we were allowed to go and watch the fire dancers and the floor show).

We are having an activity for the sisters and want to base it around Hawaii.

We recently had a very successful and fun night with cooking demonstrations and sample tasting & recipe sharing.

We started with a spiritual thought on obedience.  Then my Enrichment leader had asked for volunteers who would live on whatever food they had in their house, and not go to the store for 2 weeks.  We had 12 families sign up!   A few dropped out after a couple of days, but most made it the whole time.

Each sister was told to bring her favorite candy bar.  (We also brought a bag of candy bars to be sure there was enough.) We had chairs set up in 2 large circles.   

We started with an ice breaker.  The women separated into groups of 8 and they were challenged to make the longest line they could using only inanimate objects they had with them.

I just got back from doing a freezer meal HFPE Activity. Another sister and I were in charge. We used her recipes and her house. She has a "regular" sized kitchen and we set up 4 stations:

All in all the Pineville Express had a successful enrichment night.  The nursery also made prayer rocks which came out really cute.  They were big rocks painted white and they got to decorate with other paints to make flowers or anything.

Here is the plan of the evening.  As the sisters come in there will be soft music in the back ground.  I will then do a 5 minute Early Bird Game where they have to guess how many M&M's are in the jar. The nearest gets to keep the M&M'S.

This could be very interesting.  You could assign each Sister a disability for the night.  They could really experience it!  Are you serving dinner?  Imagine trying to eat, socialize, and even use the bathroom while experiencing your disability!

We had our April Enrichment Night tonight and did a cinco de mayo theme since it is only a week a way.  It covered the cultural arts theme.  It was a lot of fun, but we only had about 20 sisters there.
