Decorate the youth room like a restaurant (or get an actual restaurant if you have a contact). Give kids menus ...but with creative names of things they've never heard of. Give the foods and drinks new names. Order "Phlipidy dunkers" and get French fries. Order "levely paradisio" and get dry toast. Some things might sound really good, but they...
