Gals Pals SocialFriending Event For Women is a revolutionary way to meet new female friends in your area .

* Activity Partners* Enjoying Happy Hours, Dinners and/or Girls’ Nights Out Together* Female Business Networking Connections* Travel Companions* Wing Women* Friendship
At a Gal Pals Social Friending event, our friendly virtual host will welcome everyone and give everyone some fun icebreakers to get started.
WHAT KIND OF ICEBREAKER GAMES WILL WE BE PLAYING?
They are fun and simple! Don’t worry, you don’t need to know how to play anything in particular… The host will explain how each game is played. An example game we like to play is “Match The Group”. In this game the host will show you a word followed by a blank. For example: Chicken _________. You’ll write down a word that follows the word Chicken such as “Soup”. Essentially you’re trying to predict what will be a popular answer. We also play an icebreaker game called “Would You Rather” where we ask you fun questions like “Would you rather live the rest of your life without ever being able to watch and movie/TV show or would you rather never be able to listen to any song/music again?”. You answer the question and then you have to try and pick the most popular answer. It’s so much fun! Another fun game we play is similar to Family Feud (The popular prime time TV show). During this game, you’ll be asked fun and easy questions like, “What do you do when you first wake up?”. You and your group will try to come up with the most popular answer and then you’ll find out if you got the top answer. We do different fun games at each event we throw so you can come on many times and never play the exact same game again!
