Icebreakers for kids?



Recommended Posts

Here is the scavenger hunt info - the only word of caution is this: if you have it at a mall, please call your mall office first to make sure it is ok to do; sometimes they say yes as long as the kids are supervised :)

You can adapt this by ages and place of the hunt:

Rules

1. You must have fun

2. All team members with the exception of the camera person must be with the item in question in the picture.

3. Any team member caught running, will have 50 points deducted from their total.

4. PLEASE remember to be courteous and respectful if anyone asks what you are doing.

5. The first team to return to the starting point earns an extra 20 points.

Remember the team with the most points, wins!

6. The Mall Crawl begins at 2:00pm and ends at 3:30. Teams returning after 3:30 pm will be penalized 5 poins for every 5 minutes they are late.

Remember Rule#1

7. Judging will be done when all teams have returned to the starting point.

Unruly participants will be disqualified.

The judges' rulings stand. :speechles

Complete 10 of the 12 following:

1. Take a picture of your teammates with someone from Adam Market Research.

2. Take a picture of all teammates dressing up in feather boas and waving hi to passerby's.

3. Take a picture of your teammates making the letter "J" using everyones bodies. (use the first letter of the special person the party is for)

4. Take a picture of your teammates wearing a red shoe each.

5. Take a picture of your teammates wearing crazy hats.

6. Take a picture of one of your teammate with toilet paper on their shoe coming out of the bathroom.

7. Take a picture of your teammates wearing a bra on the outside of their shirts.

8. Take a picture of your teammates getting a makeup demo (if the teammate is a guy - you get 10 extra points)

9. Take a picture of your teammates with a bird on their heads.

10. Take a picture of your teammates with a stranger doing the Macarena.

11. Take a picture of your team handcuffed together!

12. Take a picture of your teammates at a resturant wearing employees hats (ask the manager!)

Polaroid I-zone are great for this and a photo scrap book to put the pics in.

You only have 12 pictures, use them wisely.

EXTRA POINTS

1. a movie ticket stub (stand outside when a movie is letting out and ask patrons nicely)

2. A flyer from the info booth

3. A blue Bubble gum ball (candy, ball, etc)

4. A shopping bag from Sonic Trax

5. The autograph and booth of a stylist from Progression hair Salon

I asked the group to make teams, then I split them up and put people together I didn't think knew each other well and let them go out of their comfort zone of friends.

I can't tell you how much fun they had. We had a variation of this 5 different times with kids from 12-19 and they all had fun.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
