Photo Scavenger Hunt – upgrade!

May 21, 2015


THIS WEEK WE HAD A COMBINED YM/YW ACTIVITY THAT I PLANNED BECAUSE WE ARE BETWEEN CLASS PRESIDENCIES RIGHT NOW. THIS IS AN EASY ONE TO THROW TOGETHER AT THE LAST-MINUTE BECAUSE THERE ISN’T MUCH PREP, ITS NO-COST, AND IF YOU HAVE THE FLU (LIKE I DO) YOU WON’T HAVE TO DO MUCH :)


WE DID A PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT (WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE PAST, BUT I UPGRADED US TO A LONGER & MORE DIFFICULT LIST, AND ALSO PROVIDED A LIST OF QUESTIONS THAT COULD BE ANSWERED FOR BONUS POINTS. THIS MADE THE ACTIVITY LAST ABOUT AN HOUR)

I ASSIGNED OUT THE TEAMS AFTER EVERYONE ARRIVED. I TRIED TO MAKE EACH TEAM HAVE NO MORE THAN 4 OR 5 PEOPLE (HARDER TO GET 10 PEOPLE IN A SELFIE). I ALSO MADE SURE EACH TEAM HAD AT LEAST ONE YW AND ONE YM (THIS IS HELPFUL FOR SOME OF THE BONUS QUESTIONS). FINALLY, I MADE SURE THAT EACH TEAM HAD A PHONE THAT THEY COULD USE TO TAKE PHOTOS. YOU ONLY NEED 1 PHONE PER TEAM.

THE ONLY PREP WORK YOU MIGHT NEED TO DO IS TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING ON THE LIST IS AVAILABLE AT YOUR CHURCH BUILDING. WE HAVE A FAKE PLANT WITH PINK ROSES IN OUR FOYER, BUT MOST BUILDINGS PROBABLY WON’T. AND SOME THINGS AREN’T TOTALLY PREDICTABLE (LIKE, OUR KIDS COULDN’T FIND A POLITICAL BUMPER STICKER, THOUGH THERE IS USUALLY SOMEONE WITH AT LEAST 1 OF THEM IN THE PARKING LOT).

HERE IS THE PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT (I GAVE EACH TEAM A COPY): 

PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT

AS A TEAM, LOCATE AND PHOTOGRAPH AS MANY OF THESE ITEMS AS YOU CAN. ALL TEAM MEMBERS MUST BE IN EVERY PHOTO. THE WINNING TEAM IS THE TEAM WHO GETS THE MOST OVERALL POINTS, NOT THE TEAM WHO FINISHES FIRST. 
YOU CAN TAKE PHOTOS IN ANY ORDER.
SORRY, BUT ANY PHOTOS THAT DO NOT FOLLOW THE RULES WILL NOT COUNT!

RULES: 
#1- EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM MUST BE IN EVERY SINGLE PHOTO.

#2- EACH ITEM MUST HAVE ITS OWN PHOTO (IE, A PHOTO WITH A PINK ROSE & A LION DOESN’T COUNT 2X)

#3- PLEASE DON’T DISTURB ANY CLASS, MEETING, OR ACTIVITY- THIS INCLUDES KNOCKING ON THE BISHOP’S DOOR, WHICH IS A “NO-NO”!  :)

#4- USING PICTURES OR PAINTINGS OF THINGS THAT ARE ALREADY HANGING IN THE CHURCH FOR YOUR PHOTOS IS OK. USING PHOTOS FROM THE INTERNET OR SAVED TO YOUR PHONE DO NOT COUNT (IE, USING A PHOTO OF A MISSIONARY FROM FACEBOOK DOES NOT COUNT)

TAKE A PHOTO OF YOUR ENTIRE TEAM WITH:

  • SOMETHING WITH WHEELS  
  • A HUMAN PYRAMID (AT LEAST 3 PEOPLE FROM YOUR TEAM IN THE PYRAMID)
  • PAINTING OF SOMEONE BEING BAPTIZED  
  • SOMETHING GLITTERY
  • THE DOORS THAT SEEM TO SAY TO ME, “SHHH….BE STILL”
  • A LION  
  • PAINTING OF BABY JESUS  
  • A PINK ROSE  
  • A FULL-TIME MISSIONARY
  • THE WARD LIBRARY DOOR
  • A NECKLACE (DOUBLE POINTS IF IT IS A YW MEDALLION NECKLACE)
  • THOMAS S. MONSON 
  • A MEMBER OF THE BISHOPRIC (THE BISHOP OR ONE OF HIS 2 COUNSELORS ONLY, CLERKS & SECRETARIES ARE NOT OFFICIAL BISHOPRIC MEMBERS) – (DON’T DISTURB BISHOP IF DOOR IS CLOSED)
  • A TEMPLE 
  • THE SIGN OUTSIDE WITH THE NAME OF THE CHURCH
  • A MEMBER OF OUR YOUNG MEN PRESIDENCY OR WARD SCOUT LEADER
  • FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY DOOR
  • A WEDDING RING
  • OUR WARD “DUTY TO GOD” PLAQUE
  • SOMEONE DOING A HEAD-STAND OR HAND-STAND
  • A POLITICAL BUMPER STICKER
  • OUR WARD’S YOUTH BULLETIN BOARD
  • THE MOTHERS LOUNGE DOOR
  • EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM DOING A HULA DANCE
  • SOMETHING WHITE
  •  A MEMBER OF OUR YOUNG-WOMEN PRESIDENCY
  • EVERY MEMBER OF YOUR TEAM ACTING LIKE A ROBOT IN THE CHURCH PARKING LOT
  • YOUR TEAM MEMBERS SPELLING OUT Y M C A (WITH THEIR BODIES) IN AN EMPTY CLASSROOM

IN ADDITION TO THE PHOTO SCAVENGER HUNT, THE TEAMS COULD ALSO OPT TO EARN BONUS POINTS BY ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS AS A TEAM (ON A SHEET THAT I HANDED THEM IF THEY WANTED IT):



BONUS POINT QUIZ – EACH QUESTION WORTH 1 BONUS POINT

NO PICTURES NEEDED – JUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.  1 POINT PER QUESTION. ENTIRE TEAM MUST STAY TOGETHER WHILE ANSWERING QUESTIONS – NO SPLITTING UP

Ice-Blocking Activity

November 7, 2014

By JOLLY ROGERS Our YM planned our combined YM/YW activity this week – “Ice-Blocking” They bought a bunch of blocks of ice from the grocery store (they got about a dozen of them, which was perfect because we had about 20 kids show up, so they just took turns). Everyone brought a small towel to sit on (dish towel sizes were too big, hand-towel size is better). The concept was…
