[Adapted Survivor?]

8-) Wow, great idea! Try to fill a big pan full of cooked spaghetti noodles, or colored water and place a ton of bouncy balls inside and give the contestants a time of 30 seconds and whoever gets the most wins.

 

And for a food idea, use a numbered board on the floor and have them throw a rock to determine which hidden food they are going to have to eat. If they hit number 3, pull the lid off plate number three and show a cup of peanut butter. Give a certain amount of time they have to eat it in. Other food could be, pudding, pickle juice, mashed bananas, and mashed carrots.

 

Sounds fun! Good Luck!

[Easter Fun]

Try to ask around at work to see if any co-workers husbands or wives would be able to fill in for the 15 minutes. Theres usually someone with a wacky spouse that can easily do a couple balloon tricks or stunts. Or have a clown contest and provide residents or guests a chance to dress and act as clowns. Good Luck!!
