Best. FHE. Ever.

For my last FHE of the semester, and with this group of people, I took my FHE children to Lowes Xtreme AirSports.  It was, and I quote, the "BEST FHE EVER!!!!".  Apparently they had a good time.  Which is good because I did too!

Catch Phrase

Not the best FHE activity.  It was fun but it wasn't as fun as it could have been.  I think part of the problem was not everyone was good at the game, and that we weren't friends, just a group of random people.  Still, it was fun.  And short.  After we played two games we had blondies (a dessert) and then everyone left.  I think the fact that it was short made up for it not being as fun as it could have been though!

Halloween Party!

So this FHE was super basic. I decided to have a Halloween movie/ice cream party. I passed around a sign-up sheet for people to sign up for ice cream toppings and also let them vote on a halloweenish movie. I brought ice-cream to the host apartment and when everyone showed up with toppings and bowls we dug in and had ice cream sundaes!

The movie we ended up watching for the activity was The Mummy. However, the options I included were:

-Beetlejuice
-Monster House
-Disturbia
-Red Eye
-Strangers On A Train
-Hocus Pocus
-Casper the Friendly Ghost
-Ghostbusters
-Monsters Inc.
-A Nightmare Before Christmas
-Corpse Bride
-Coraline

It took me forever to think of all these movies, so I thought it would be nice if I included them. It was a pretty fun activity. Mainly I think people just liked eating ice cream.

DON'T EAT PETE!!!

Funniest game EVER!  So what it is is you lay down 9 note cards (labeled numbers 1 through 9) and put some sort of food, like goldfish or M&Ms, on each of them.  Then you send a person out of the room and everyone else picks a goldfish to be Pete.  The person re-enters the room and starts eating the goldfish, one at a time.  When the person picks up the goldfish that is Pete, and begins to put it in their mouth, everyone is supposed to scream, "Don't eat Pete!!"

Basically the entire game is one big anxiety attack.  Its kind of stupid but everyone has fun yelling and watching the person jump a foot.  My FHE group played it today and it was super fun.

Also, last week FHE was at out Bishop's house, we just hung out and ate food.  That was pretty fun too.

Picture Storytelling

This was week 2.  I divided everyone up into groups of 3 or 4 then sent them out to take 10-15 pictures.  The pictures had to be random and creative and they had to include as many people from the group as possible in them.  They had 45 minutes to take these pictures then they had to meet back at the apartment.

Once back at the apartment we put all the pictures onto a computer then each group swapped.  Group 1 would make up a story, based on the group 2's pictures.  Then group 2 would do the same for group 3, and so on.  Then maybe vote on the best pictures or the best story, that part isn't important.  What is important is the 45 minutes that the people in your group are having fun and getting to know each other.  That is what makes this such a great activity.
