Arctic Room Detailed Breakdown

Week 1 (April 5th)

Split kids into teams, each child gets a paper fish hanging by a yarn that’s safety-pinned to the back of their shirt. Kids try to step on the other children’s fish.
If a fish comes loose, the child sits down.
When time is up, the team with the most fish still intact wins!

Activity: Rubber Chicken Bucket Toss

Divide into Teams: Split participants into teams with an equal number of players. Giving them the corresponding color of chickens. (5 teams total)
Set Up Buckets: Place buckets at varying distances from the tossing line. Assign points to each bucket based on difficulty (e.g., 10 points for the closest, 30 for mid-range, and 50 for the farthest).
Rules of Tossing: Each player gets three rubber chickens. They toss them one at a time, trying to land them into the buckets to score points.
Rotate Players: After one player completes their turn, the next teammate steps up. Continue until everyone has had a chance to toss.
Special Challenges: Add twists like tossing from a blindfolded position or using non-dominant hands for bonus rounds.
Winning: At the end of all rounds, tally the points. The team with the most points wins!

Activity: Extreme Snowball Battle

Snowball battle is dodgeball but with snowballs.

Split the room into two teams.
Make a boundary for each team and some obstructions to use as shields (tables or chairs).
During the Battle they can go anywhere in the room.
Once a person gets hit anywhere on their body, including their head, they are out. They must leave the battle zone and line up on the side or go to a designated jail area.
For jailbreak, they can all go back in.
A team wins when all the opposing players are knocked out.
Once you have a winner, switch sides. If no one gets a jailbreak, then the leader can call Jailbreak so no one gets bored.

Variations: boys vs. girls, leaders vs. kids, free-for-all.

Sermon:

Split the kids into groups of 4.
Have (2) groups of 4 face off in a battle until the first balloon to touch the ground ends the game.
The goal is to have the balloon touch the other teams side before a balloon touches the ground on their side.
No hitting the balloons down allowed.
