Valentine Dance

We were on the committee organizing the Gaborone West YSA Ward Valentine Dance. It was held on the patio and in the cultural hall of the Gaborone West building. We were in charge of games and line dancing, dessert, and punch. Sister Rands also made a salad.

The activity started with a get-acquainted game where people had to get the signature of twenty-five people who had a specific characteristics or experiences. For example, someone who had not seen an elephant, someone who had been to Namibia, someone who wore glasses, someone who had four siblings, etc.

The next activity was dancing the Hokey Pokey and line dancing to Cotten Eye Joe on the patio. The Young Single Adults always like these.

We went to the cultural hall for speed dating. It was held in the chapel/cultural hall because it is the only room in the building big enough and it was too dark outside because the outdoor lighting was not working.

Back out on the patio, the young adults danced for awhile and then we had dinner which consisted of sausage, rolls, a variety of salads brought by the sisters, snacks provided by the brothers, punch and heart-shaped sugar cookies made by the Rands.

 

We went back into the building to play Minute-To-Win-It games - stacking apples five high, blowing plastic cups off a table with a balloon, knocking cups off a table with rubber bands, and keeping three balloons in the air for a minute, wadding paper and tossing the wads into buckets.

 

The activity ended with dancing back out in the patio. Sixty-five young adults attended.
