Have several male volunteers come up and have them each select a beautician from the audience. Give the beautician beauty supplies: shaving cream, and other items if you wish (sprinkles, chocolate syrup, etc.). Have the beautician put the shaving cream in their partner’s hair and try to beautify him as much as possible. Have the crowd applaud to determine the best job and the winner. 

Make enough copies of the paragraph written below so each person can have one. Tell the students to look carefully in the paragraph and find the names of 16 books of the Bible. As they find each name, underline or circle it.

Here is the paragraph:

Students begin with a stick of gum and go from house to house asking for something “bigger and better” than the current object. Make sure the homeowners know they will NOT be getting their item back because it will be traded at the next stop! At the end of a pre-determined time limit, everyone returns to the meeting place with their final object covered with a sheet. One by one each team reveals their “biggest and best” object and then have some “judges” (possibly use some adult sponsors) decide who wins the prize. End the meeting by discussing HEAVEN which is the “biggest and best” of all! For refreshments serve Heavenly Hash Ice Cream or Angel Food Cake.

Blindfold half of the leaders and give them a dodgeball. Have them stand in the middle of the play area. Assign a second person to each blindfolded leader to be a ball fetcher. The blindfolded leader then calls out “Marco” to which every student must respond “Polo!” The blindfolded leader tries to throw the ball at the students. If they hit one, the assistant leader removes them to a designated area and then gets the ball. The last student remaining is the winner.

Rules:

If a student doesn’t respond “Polo” he or she is automatically out. If a student ever touches or is hit by a ball he or she is out.
