Sock Puppet Show

Items needed: random craft items (string, buttons, ribbon etc.), socks, hot glue gun, markers, "props".

Let group members know ahead of time to bring a random sock (clean).

Split group into groups of 3-5 people. Each group picks out 3 "props" (see below). Everyone takes 10 minutes to make their socks into puppets using random craft items. Then they collaborate to make a short skit/play using their puppets and props.

Props must be used in the skit - helps create a story.

Props

America's Next Top Model

Most talked about activity

Split ward members into groups of 3-4. Better to split up the out-going people and the shy people so each group has a mixture. They out-going people will encourage the shy people to get more into the activity.

Each group receives a "category" (listed below) in which they have to dress up as.

Groups have 15 minutes to head back to their apartments and get

in costume as well as choose 1 song they want to walk down the runway to.

Each group takes turns strutting down the runway (we just did it in an apartment - no big thing).

Categories

Sing your heart out

Funny when they think they know all the words, but they really don't. Usually takes a while for people to get into it, but once they do they wont stop!

Iron Chef

For: Ward FHE/Large Group

Items needed: 1 secret ingredient

Split group up into 3+ groups. All groups receive the same "secret ingredient" that they base their dish off of. The secret ingredient must be used in the dish.

Groups leave and have 30-45 minutes to cook dish. Groups are allowed to use food items they already have in their apartments and/or an allocated amount to spend. Once all groups are back, they are judged (FHE mom/dad, bishopric etc.)
