Zone Olympics

Craig and I were in charge of the zone activity.  The elders wanted to have an "Olympics" but didn't want to over-power the sisters.  So Craig and I came up with several events that were more equitable.

 1)  Ten cups were lined up on the table.  They had to blow up a balloon, and then use the escaping air to knock over the cups.

2)  Each person had to run to the chair, eat two soda crackers from the plate next to the chair, blow up a balloon, then pop the balloon.

3)  Each person had to run to the table, put on the ski gloves, unwrap a stick of gum, put the gum in their mouth, take off the gloves and run back.

4)  Each person had to run to the table, open three bandaids, put one on each elbow and one someplace on their face, then run back.

 5)  In the ping-pong race, a ball was balanced on a paper plate.  Each person walked an obstacle course up and back.

6)  Corn tortillas were tossed and the catcher had to catch three.  Then the thrower became the catcher and the next person came up to throw.

7)  You had to use the straw to put 10 M & M's in the cup.

8)  Twenty-six cards were stacked up on the jar.  You had to blow them all off except for the last card.  If you blew all the cards off, you had to start over.

9)  This was a card passing game.  A card was passed down the line in front with the right hands, then behind their backs with their left hands.  The new card could not be passed until the current card was back at the start.

10)  Each person had to sort 1 cup of Fruit Loops into 6 cups - one for each color.

 11)  Using pool noodles, they had to roll a marble across the floor and knock over empty toilet paper rolls.  This was not timed.  The winner had the most points.

Here are three of our sisters taking a selfie.  The headbands denote their team color.  And what would any activity be without mustaches?????

We had a few more events, but my phone died.  LOL.  It was a lot of fun spending time with these wonderful kids!  They work very hard.  It was nice to relax and socialize for an afternoon.
