Special Activity - 2022

1. Get any camera (even your phone) to take pictures with. Also get someone else to do the challenge with.

2. Go out into your backyard and try to find some cool nature scenes. Take a photo of that scene.

3. When you and the other person are done taking photos, look at all the photos. The person with the best and coolest photo wins.

Instructions:

1. Get a cardboard box and some colored paper and markers. Decorate the box however you want to make it look like a time capsule.

2. Decide what you want to put in the time capsule. Do you want it to be about a certain day? An important event? This crazy decade we’re all living in?

3. Find some pictures and other items to put in the time capsule that shows what you want to remember. As long as it fits, you can put anything in it!

4. Once you are done, close the lid of the box and seal it shut. On the top, write the date it was sealed and the date you want to open it.

5. Place the box somewhere where you won’t be tempted to open it. Wait for the day you can open it and have fun remembering!

1. Get a bag that isn’t clear. Then, go around your house and find some props or fun/random items. Put them in the bag.

2. Gather your friends or family. Take turns getting an item out of the bag and telling a story with it. The ‘actors’ can call other people up to help them in their story.

3. Keep playing until you get bored!

Advanced: After everyone goes once, the audience can vote on who’s skit was the best. Keep voting for 5 rounds. The person with the most votes wins.

1. Get some plastic eggs (you can buy them from Amazon), acrylic paint, and paintbrushes.

​

2. Think of what you want to paint on your eggs. They can all be themed together or completely different. Paint that on your eggs.

​

3. Once you are done painting, wait 24 hours for the eggs to dry. Then, hide them for your egg hunt and watch as others find your eggs.

1. Get a banana, a bowl, and your favorite flavor of ice cream.

​

2. Take the peal off of the banana and put in in the bowl. Then, add however much ice cream you want on top of the banana.

​

3. It's time for toppings! Put whatever you want in the banana split - chocolate syrup, sprinkles, whipped cream, whatever you want.

​

4. When you're done making your banana split, eat it! And enjoy your summer break.

1. Get a balloon and some small candy.

​

2. Put the candy into the balloon from the part where you blow it up.

​

3. Blow up the balloon and tie it shut.

​

4. Throw the balloon into the air and pop it to make a candy explosion.

1. Get a cup of glue, a tablespoon of baking soda, and some contact solution. Add it in a mixing bowl and stir until the contents look like slime or have a slimy consistency.

2. Put food coloring in the slime to make it the color you want. (Green, orange, and red look the best).

3. Get a mold that has semicircles. We liked this one from Amazon.

4. Put a black button in the bottom of each semi-circle. Then, pour the slime into each mold.

5. Pop out the slime from each mold, and you'll have a slimy eyeball.

You can either do this with actual houses and compete against your neighbors or with two identical things in a house. The same basic rules apply for both.

​1. Get however many lights, decorations, inflatables, or anything else you want for decorating. Each person needs to have the same materials.

2. Start a 30 minute timer. During those 30 minutes, decorate as much as you can.

3. Once the 30 minutes have ended, it is time to judge. Pick someone to judge both displays and see whose is better. Whoever's is better wins.
