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

50 Points

20 points

1. Find a 1985 Movie (take a picture) write down the movie name and date

2. Find a 1985 Toy (take a picture) write down toy name and date made

3.Find a 1985 Book (take a picture) write down name author & date

4. Find someone whose bday is September 25th have them autograph your page and exact date, time of birth etc lol

10 points

Find and BRING back any or all of the following:

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.

      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. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
