This is a messy "thank you" or Christmas gift to your staff (or interns). Lay tarp down (a large vinyl tablecloth works, too). Staff wear old clothes and get ready to be icky!Students get to dump 12 items of gross stuff on the staff, one at a time. The twelve days of Christmas gives a nice outline for the...
Outdoor or Indoor. Have students wear grubby clothes that can be thrown away. Divide into 4 or more teams and arm each person with a small Styrofoam plate and 4 marshmallows.Give each team captain (adult) a different color dipping sauce (we used Mustard, Red, & Green Catsup, and Chocolate Syrup, but you can use your imagination). Then map out...

The first person to let go...

If we don't have the right foundation, all that great stuff is useless.This game...
Exactly like Twister, only you spread a condiment over each of the color circles. Lay a big tarp down under the Twister mat.Grape Jelly for blue, mustard for yellow, ketchup for red, and relish on the green circles. Make sure that you have plastic bags and masking tape to cover the volunteers with, so clothes aren't ruined. Have their...
