Egg Heads
Materials: Eggs, markers, potting soil, grass seed, construction paper, ruler and tape.
Instructions: Draw
a funny face on an eggshell, then gently tap off the end of the shell
that is the top of the head. Shake out the egg into a bowl and set
aside for cooking scrambled eggs, if you like. Then fill the shell
gently with soil. Make a base for the egghead by cutting a 2.5 cm strip
of construction paper and taping it into a circle 4 cm in diameter. The
shell will stand upright in the ring. Next, plant some grass seed in
the soil and mist with water every other day, keeping the soil damp.
Place the egghead in sunlight. In about a week, you can give your
egghead a haircut or let it grow wild.
Air Raid
Materials: Sponges, buckets and field or flat area that can get wet.
Instructions: Begin by marking a starting line and a finishing line approximately 50 feet apart. Find five or six obstacles that are large enough to be hidden behind (e.g., a table or a wheelbarrow). Place the obstacles approximately 10-feet apart in a zig-zag pattern between the start and finish. Assign two people to be the "Bombers " and give them each a bucket full of water and about 10 small sponges. Place one of the "Bombers' 10 feet past the finish line and one halfway between the lines. The object of the game is to get from the start to the finish without getting hit by a wet sponge by going from obstacle to obstacle. Obviously, the job of the "Bombers" is to try and hit the runners. The "halfway Bomber" is only allowed to try and hit the runner until the runner has passed them and then they must cease fire. For every obstacle that the runner gets to they receive an assigned point value.
Photo Album
Materials: A variety of props.
Instructions: Break into groups of four to 10 people. One person will be the owner of the photo album and the rest of the people will be the photos. Here's the scenario: the owner of the photo album is very proud of all the pictures he or she has of family reunions, trips and birthday parties. The owner will start by saying "Here's my first picture. It is a picture of (INSERT TOPIC)." The photos will have 10 seconds to form the picture using any of the variety of props (if they so choose); the owner will do his or her best to explain what exactly is happening in the picture.

The Bootyboard is an interactive game that combines the balance of
surfing with the tricks of skateboarding. It looks like a type of
skateboard simulator and is surrounded by an air mattress for safety.
It is basically a skateboard attached to a system of springs that
allows the board to bounce, spin and tilt in any direction. If the
rider falls off the Bootyboard they land safely on the surrounding
inflatable air mattress. The Bootyboard has no motor and no electrical
requirements (except for the blower for the air mattress).
Goalsetter Systems' GS2000 height adjustable portable basketball unit is designed for
use in a variety of settings, including gymnasiums, churches and recreation centres.
Constructed of heavy duty painted and plated steel, the GS2000 adjusts
from seven feet to 10 feet. At the latter height, it provides a full four-foot play
area between the backboard and the ballast base. The padded front and
matching mast padding are available in blue, black, green and red. The
GS2000 equipped with a 32"x48" acrylic
backboard collapses to allow the unit to pass through a doorway
without disassembly.
