Personal Progress: P Party

Lois the Visiting Teacher was recently also made Lois the Young Women's Personal Progress Specialist. So I figured I might as well post my ideas for those activities on here as well. After each activity has passed, I'll go back and post the hindsight advice after I've seen how my activity goes.
The first activity I had was a P Party. Got the idea online, totally not mine. The idea is to get the girls excited about doing Personal Progress, but it really was so I could get all their records. The Young Women and leaders were instructed to wear as many P items as possible (pink, purple, polish, pigtails, etc.) and there would be a prize for the most Ps (a pack of penguin playing cards!).

The girls played P games (Pictionary, Phase 10, Pass the Pigs, Parcheesi) and ate P snacks (pretzels, peanut M&Ms, pop in plastic cups).

Hindsight advice: Having multiple game options didn't work out. Stick with Pictionary.
