TFFTM 1 #1 April 12, 2006 I am trying to come up with a couple of games to do at our DZ on Saturday to celebrate Easter. I came up with the following. I am hoping for some input or additional ideas to make this an especially fun day. Golden Egg Hunt There will be several plastic eggs hidden around the DZ. Each plastic egg will contain a number. There will be one Golden egg that does not contain a number. There will be 2 prizes given out. When you find an egg the number inside is used to determine a winner. If you find multiple eggs you can add the numbers together. I.e. you find an egg containing the number 5 and an egg containing the number 2 your number is now 7. Be warned that some eggs may contain negative numbers. The golden egg trumps all numbers and automatically wins first prize. If the person who finds the golden egg also has the highest cumulative number the second place prize is awarded to the next highest cumulative number. In the event the golden egg is not found the prizes will be awarded to the highest and second highest cumulative score. In the event of a tie the players will perform a Sudden Death Egg-Toss. Rules: Once you find an egg you must turn it in and record it at manifest you name will be written on the egg - it must not be opened. Once recorded it cannot be swapped or given away. We will open the eggs A.) When all eggs are found B.) When the beer light comes on. You must be present to win. Sudden Death Egg-Toss: The egg is raw and the players will stand back to back and pace 5 steps at which time they will turn around. Player 1 will toss the egg to player 2 and player 2 will toss it back to player 1 at which time they will both take a pace backwards. This will continue until the egg is dropped or missed. Rules: If egg is thrown within catching distance of the receiver but is missed or dropped that person loses. If egg is thrown out of reach of player the person throwing loses. Out of reach is determined by those watching. Invalid throws are those that are thrown to hard to be caught or out of reach. Egg-Head This is a game of Russian Roulette with eggs. Players are paired off. Each player will then take turns picking an egg by pointing to one then a non-participant will hand it to the player. The player then smashes it on his head. If the egg is raw the player is out. If the egg is boiled it then becomes the other players turn. The remaining player is paired again. The player who must chose first is the newest player or the player who did not chose in the last round. In the event we cannot determine who goes first there will be a coin toss. The winner is the last person standing and there are no more players. Jumpin jelly bean There will be a jar of jelly beans the goal is to guess the number of jelly beans in the jar without going over. There will be a signup sheet next to the jar. It will cost 1.00 per guess. All guesses should be recorded on the form. You cannot guess a number someone else has already guessed. The prize will be the guess money plus the jar of beans. The winner will be announced “When the beer light comes on” You must be present to win. BSBD Home of the Alabama Gang Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bolas 5 #2 April 14, 2006 From a DZO: I've come up with an idea to eliminate both the swoopers (wanting cheaper rates) and the usual problem of unattended children. The logic was always there. We will simply put out easter eggs along the swoop course, and invite the children to hunt for eggs at the beginning of each round. By round three, both problems should take care of themselves. Stupidity if left untreated is self-correcting If ya can't be good, look good, if that fails, make 'em laugh. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
