Being Able to Talk to BOYS!

I know this sounds super silly, learning how to talk to boys.

But seriously, have you noticed that boys do NOT communicate the same way girls do?

Some weird phenomenon eh?

So today we just wanted to share a few ways that you could practice building these skillz in your Young Women's, ya know, so you're not completely awkward around boys for the rest of your existence. Or is that just me? Hehe.

Idea #1

I loved this idea about having conversations with the purpose of becoming friends for a combined YW/YM activity. Because that's our ultimate goal when we are talking to and meeting boys right? To become better acquainted with them through building friendships and talking with them. The idea is from the youth activities page on lds.org.

Idea #2

This next idea is from the Red Headed Hostess and I thought it was a great way to practice being in front of a group and being able to talk about something specific. It will help you build confidence in communicating with your peers as well as boys :) If you did this as a combined activity, you wouldn't  be on "dates", you could just teach the group as a whole.

Idea #3

And last idea for today is another one from the youth activities site on lds.org. This one is a fun game to help you practice communicating by working together as a group. There are a lot of other group games that could help you practice talking with each other as well such as human spider web, building marshmallow and spaghetti noodle towers, trivia games, and more.
