I need help. It is time to start planning enrichment activities for next year, but our ward has struggled with the mini groups. So I would like to know what you have done or seen done in your ward and liked. Any suggestions are most welcomed. Thanks!

Enrichment ideas? Have you done the
service auction? FUN!
Cute Family!
In our ward, once a month we have a recipe swap. Everyone brings a dish coordinating with a theme and the recipe. We also have card swaps. Every Wednesday we have play group for moms and kids. IN the winter it's held at the church. We also have a jogging group and aerobics class. They are all lots of fun. Good Luck!
book club has been a big hit in my ward. We are pretty spread out but there are about 10-15 girls who always show up, We also started a playgroup for us women with younger kiddos for 1 hour every wednesday, at different places, sometimes a local park and we alternate houses. I'm going to be doing a file folder group, where we get together maybe every other month and put together file folder games/FHE packets for our little tikes. but you could also send around a list to see what people are interested in and then go from there! have fun planning!
Ok we had such a fun one. It was a "Favorite Things" modeled after Oprahs favorite things. Every one sent in there favorite things so a list was written up and ready to go, one for everyone to take home. Then the night of everyone brought one of there favorite things. The RS did purchase a few things incase someone didn't bring something, but every one brought one of there favorite things to share (give away) I took Magic eraser and windex wipes, but there were people that brought treats, plants, crafts, and the list goes on and on. I have a copy if you want to barrow it. It was so much fun and I came away with some really cool things that I have started to use because of it... like Borax didn't even know it existed, Love it. Any way such a fun idea. Good luck.
My ward has a hard time with mini groups. Meaning, besides book club and getting together in the park once in a while it really doesn't happen. So our presidency does a mini mini enrichment. Learning something one night at someones house. So they have done one night some simple Hawaiian recipes, a month later they did a jewelery night, etc. this helped the women who couldn't commit to a lengthy book club but wanted to get out once in a while.
