Cristin Creates A Survivor Party - games designed to outwit through trivia, outplay on the obstacles course, and outlast with balance
Survivor Theme Party Game Challenges I racked my brain and turned to the Internet for ideas. I scoured the Internet looking for games to purchase. I came up empty-handed. So, I knew that I was on my own and each would have to be created by myself. Here is my challenge listing, the rules, and way I plan on setting everything up. Challenge Board & Score Board First, I needed a way to keep me on task and a way for our guests to see the upcoming challenges. I found our over-sized dry erase board in the basement and decided this would

Do you have a child who is a big fan of the show Survivor? Then why not throw them a Survivor Birthday Party. I am going to give you some fun ideas and inspiration to help you pull it off right here. I am personally a HUGE fan of the show and have been watching
We are SURVIVOR fans at my house. Big-time fans. So when it came time to decide on a theme for what was supposed to be a surprise party for Jason's thirty-fifth birthday, the choice became pretty obvious. We would hold a SURVIVOR competition for couples. It was AWESOME! I believe that attention to the details contributed to making the party a success. So, here are the details: I found a great image of the SURVIVOR logo with a google search, and I used that on just about everything. The invitation had actual quotes from Jeff Probst's opening monologue with slight moderation (two hours, eighteen people, one SURVIVOR). They, along with a survey used for one of the challenges, were printed on postal packaging paper that I cut to fit through the printer. All edges of the papers were burned and they were tied up with jute. The invitations and surveys were delivered with a bandana that represented the tribal buff. I randomly drew names to divide all the party guests into the two tribes- Ulang and Tahun. The tribe names were chosen by typing the word "birthday" in google translator and converting it to Indonesian (the most exotic language available). To create the image on the flag, I ironed web interfacing to the back of the fabrics to make cutting out the pattern easier, used a print off of the logo as a template, and hot-glued everything together. I then sewed the logo onto each flag. Each flag was fastened to a pole so tribe members could carry them around easily (although we never really did). The game supplies were some of the most fun things to put together. They really added to the whole experience. Here are some explanations for each item pictured: 1- I found this incense burner at Wal-Mart for $10.00. A bit of a splurge, but isn't it awesome! 2- I saved this plastic container that had Christmas candies in it and wrapped it with fabric rope, some jute, and freshly cut bush branches and, voila! A vote collection urn. 3- I needed five dry erase boards for one of the games, but good heavens! They are expensive. So I took some foam board that I already had and glued cardstock on both sides. I cut a sheet protector to fit over one of the sides, hot-glued it down, and wrapped and hot-glued jute around the edges for a finishing touch. And because I seemed to be on a wrap-it-in-jute mood, I did the same with the five dry erase markers. 4- Fabric bags were quickly sewn and jute was used for drawstrings. These were used in a final immunity challenge where the bags were tied in various locations on the playground of the park. Contestants had to collect all four bags which contained pieces to a puzzle they had to put together. 5- It just so happened that I had these necklaces in my costume jewelry collection. The larger one was used as the main individual immunity necklace and the one pictured above it was used only once for a challenge. The challenge was to search the park to find the "hidden immunity necklace." 6- I wrapped a huge Sharpie marker just like the collection urn, and the papers for voting were cardstock with torn edges. 7- Of course, we had to have a new set of buffs for when the two tribes merged! 8- I hot-glued scraps of fabric onto wooden skewers to create the small flags that would easily be stuck in the ground for one of the challenges. Not pictured were the two tiki torches purchased for use in tribal councils. I know. Describing the game supplies was probably more information than anyone needed to know! Here is the birthday cake. I don't think it turned out too shabby considering it was my first attempt at making and using my own marshmallow fondant. I was pleased with the final result. And now, here are some pictures of the evening and actual SURVIVOR competition: Darren of Tribe Tahun writing his vote at Tribal Council Tahun with a slight lead over Ulang This one kills me. Three members from each tribe were blindfolded and guided by a caller to go out on the field and retrieve several tribal flags. Never mind that there were trees everywhere. These competitive men went running into the playing field at full speed! Ulang members waiting for their turn to vote at Tribal Council Clair of Ulang takes on Jason of Tahun in a test of balance The gross food challenge where competitors had to see who could eat a Twinkie the fastest Darren polished his Twinkie off quickly, while Doug (in the middle bending over) nearly choked on his Jason came so close to winning the final immunity challenge. He collected all his bags first and put the puzzle together fastest but left one piece in a bag. Doug came from behind to win immunity, and voted Jason off because he didn't think he could convince a jury to choose him over a birthday boy. He was probably right. After Jerimiah and Doug were "grilled" by the jury members, the votes were cast and Doug won by only two votes. He was presented with his million dollars (in the form of ten 100 Grand candy bars) and named sole SURVIVOR. Jason cutting and serving the cake No sooner had the party ended, when talks began to arise of plans for the next SURVIVOR competition. Bring it on! This post authored by Amber

Let me start this post off by saying... I have never watched a single episode of Iron Chef and have no idea what it is about. However, if you're looking for a fun combined youth cookoff activity, this is it, and Iron Chef Competition is what we will be calling it! The Young Men were in charge of the activity last year, so we recreated it the best we could. (Don't tell them, but ours was definitely better!) Beforehand, we decided what ingredients we would provide beforehand. They were totally random (and frankly, cheap!) but that was on purpose to make things interesting. Our leader would add in a mystery ingredient (so that we didn't have a full advantage) and it turned out to be cream cheese. Next, we knew that we wanted the missionaries to be the judges! We did some date-switching with the people who had them so we could have them for dinner that night (I'm sure they were so...excited...) and have them be judges. Boom! Killing two birds with one stone! Aww yeah! Wait... now it sounds like the two birds are the two elders... that's really sad.. I just meant that expression... yeah. Okay. I am going to stop typing... Next, we bought the food items and an assortment of fun-size candies for the winners. Gotta have motivation! I designed some flyers and made some group chats for the teams, and we collaborated on what to bring, etc. A leader had two campfire stoves, so we arranged them outside. We put together some cool bags with the food items, and gave each team a long ward-party table. The teams had around 45 minutes to cook... and at 8 p.m., the missionaries ate. I created a large flyer to accompany the event and this is what it looked like: Obviously, this isn't exactly identical to the one I made because a) I doubted people would want their names and numbers online, so I put on random ones b) we do not have that many youth where I live (a girl can dream...) and c) my name, unfortunately, is not Rachelle Rodriguez. But overall, I thought it turned out super cute. I haven't figured out a way for me to make it editable, so if you want, comment and give me the information you want put in it and I will happily modify it for you free of charge. Or I can send you a file with blank space where the names and numbers go so you can do it yourself! Honestly, the activity went better than I thought it would. Our team ended up winning, for one, but the missionaries actually liked both teams' dishes so much that we saw them continue to eat them after they told us the results! One concern, however, was the team sizes. I know from personal experience that in huge teams, it can be kind of hard to get heard. Nothing went wrong with my team, but on another youth's they reported asking to help but not being given anything to do/included. Obviously, this was a specific problem based on specific youth, but I recommend for your activity, you make smaller groups. Maybe 5 per group? We hadn't been anticipating so many people to actually show up, so that was where the problem was. It didn't ruin the activity, I just learned something to incorporate when we do it next year. If you have gotten tired of me rambling on this whole article, I made a quick infographic summing everything up. You can contact me with any questions. Good luck!
*This post may contain affiliate links. Please see my Disclosure Page for details. About a week ago we saw Night At The Museum - Secret of the Tomb with our homeschool movie club. Yes I totally created a homeschool movie club for my homeschool group in Georgia. Every few months when a fun, educational movie is released we will get together and go to the movies. But that's not all...I also create a journal page centered around the movie and come up with a fun craft project for the group to complete afterwards. The Night At The Museum films are some of my kids favorites...okay mine too. Believe it or not my children have learned quite a bit from the movies as well. Night At The Museum - Secret Of The Tomb was just as good as its two predecessors. It was filled with laughs, excitement and educational references. After the movie our group got to go behind the scenes to check out the projection room....special thanks to Movie Tavern. Did you know a projector light bulb is about $3,000! Not the best photos..but you get the idea! After the movie the kids made their own tablets of Ahkmenrah using salt dough. Tablet of Ahkmenrah craft instructions: Supplies: -1 cup of salt -1 cup of flour -1/2 cup of water (might need a little more) -Gold paint -Bamboo skewer or paper clip or another sharp object to carve with -Hieroglyphs printout Instructions: In a large bowl combine the salt and flour. Gradually add the water and knead with your hands until it forms a doughy consistency. If the dough is too hard add a little more water. If it is too soft and squishy add a little more flour. Form a ball and continue to knead for about 5 minutes. The longer you knead the smoother it will be. Next form a rectangle for the tablet. Use a sharp object to gently carve hieroglyphs into the dough. Bake the table at 200 F until your creation is dry. The amount of time needed to bake your creations depends on size and thickness; thin flat tablets may only take 45-60 minutes, thicker tablets can take 2-3 hours or more. Make sure you dust the pan with some flour to avoid the piece sticking. After the tablet is hardened paint it using gold the paint. When you are not using the dough make sure you store it in a sealed baggie or container as it will dry out. Free Night At The Museum journal page: Each family also left with a copy of the journal page I created for the movie. You can download a copy for FREE here (or click the photo below). More goodies: Visit the Night At The Museum website for fun games and downloads. Night At The Museum game app for iPhone. Don't worry I will share the craft and journal page after each homeschool movie club meeting!
