Waikato Leaders came up with this idea at last years AGM. Put your own spin on it, but this will start you off.
Have as a Dress-up night – come dressed as nerd, dance wear, sports outfit, skateboarder, cheer leader, musician…..
- · Choose a theme for your Bible talk eg, God created us unique and loves us equally, no matter what we look like on the outside.
- · Decorate hall with streamers & balloons.
- · Choose suitable CD’s and have music playing even when they arrive.
- · Prepare popcorn and ice-cream sodas for supper.
- · Microphone, CD’s and CD player.
Activity ideas –
- · make pom-poms from crepe paper/plastic bags. Each team has to make up a ‘cheer’ routine (dance & words) and perform it.
- · Make a musical instrument that is unique! As long as you get a tune from it!! Provide small boxes and card, plus ‘odds & ends’ to choose from to make the instrument. You may need to think of instruments that can be adapted and get suitable ‘bits’ for them eg, drums (leather, elastic, rubber bands), guitar (string, screws), flute (pipe, drill & bit)…..
- · Sing-star – have individual/small group competitions.
- · Have someone come and teach the Dance & Movement badge – can be modern dancing. Learn a 30 sec -1 minute routine & practice it as a Rally. (This will take you 30 minutes!)
- · Skateboard lessons – remember the helmets & kneepads!
- · Bible devotions could be in the form of a drama, or have members act out the story as you tell it.
- · A memory verse could be made of musical notes – write each word on a ‘note’. Place them in correct order.
- · Have fun creating mild chaos (‘something’ is supposed to happen at a High School Musical isn’t it?) with an erupting volcano – At supper, have all sitting at tables with their soda and popcorn. Place a saucer on the table with a film canister in the saucer. Tip ½ teaspoon of baking SODA into canister, then a tablespoon of malt vinegar. Watch it ‘erupt’.
- · Shoot basketball goals – team races or individual competitions.
