Minute To Win It

The Activity Days girls invited one of their parents to attend our "Minute To Win It" game night. We played 8 different games. Some seemed like they should be easy but actually were very difficult to complete. We all had a super fun time trying each game.


Teams Waiting for Instructions


This Blows - Blow up the balloon and blow 15 cups off the table with the balloon in ONE minute.


Speed Eraser - Using the eraser end of unsharpened pencils and seven glasses, try to bounce one pencil into each glass in ONE minute.


Sharp Shooter - From 8 feet away, shoot three UNO cards with rubber bands to knock them over in ONE minute.


Marbles Grande - Using ping-pong balls, throw them at the colored ping-pong balls inside the hula hoop to knock them out of the hula hoop in ONE minute.


Defying Gravity - Using three inflated balloons keep them in the air using only your hands for ONE minute.


Broomski Ball - We didn't actually use brooms but had the teams bounce tennis balls to get them into two different size garbage cans in ONE minute.


Junk In The Trunk - With a kleenex box with 8 ping-pong balls inside tied to your back, try to get all 8 balls out of the box by jumping up and down in ONE minute.

Activity Days - Mother's Day Gifts

Our Activity Days girls made flower pots filled with candy for their moms for Mother's Day gifts. We had great helpers and were able to paint the pots and flower stems, assemble four cut-out flowers together, add a brad to hold all the pieces in place, attach the flower to their painted stem, place it in florist foam in the pot and make a tag, wrap it with cellophane, tie a bow to finish the project all in one hour and 10 minutes. We had some awesome non-members helping us get them put together. They were so impressed with the girls and said they'd never had so much fun.
