Wok and Talk

As guests arrive, they choose a marked chopstick, and sits at the table that matches up with the color or letter.

While enjoying their "wok" (Chinese food), someone draws a question from the container to begin their "talk".

After a few minutes, someone takes up the chopsticks and everyone chooses a new chopstick. Everyone moves to a new table for a new "talk" with a new group of people.

***I am the counselor in charge of looking after transitioning Young Women, and I think this would make a fabulous activity for a Relief Society Enrichment Night to help Young Women get to know their older sisters better. An activity like this could be held at high school graduation time, as a sort of congratulatory/welcome to Relief Society thing. - Jenny***
