The Continuing Game (with prize accumulation)

20 June 2008 One Comment

This is a fun game that can be done throughout the school year or the summer time, or maybe it will never end.

Overview: The continuing game works by picking a challenging activity to do. The activity must be very hard to do (like a half court shot) and if a student can complete the activity they win the prize (whatever you want it to be). If nobody wins, which should be happening or your activity is too easy, then the next week there is a new activity with the prize from the first week and a new prize for the current week. What will happen is that the jackpot of prizes should begin to accumulate and the anticipation of winning should also until one lucky student wins the prizes and then you can start anew.

What You Need: Difficult Activity each week and a new prize each week.

Other Tips and Ideas:

  • If you have a large group, you need to be more creative or break them up into smaller groups and have a leader for each group leading the challenge with that group for the week.
  • Plan out the summer with the activity. That way you aren’t wondering what to do for the next week.
  • Make sure that you try to equally do challenges that are non-strength oriented and strength oriented so that everyone gets a fair chance.
  • Be creative with your prizes from cash to candy to gift certificates.
  • Ask a church goer to contribute a prize for a particular week or month so you don’t dig into your budget.

Hopefully the game can build some fun anticipation from week to week.
