Fun Activities Guide


Introduction

• FUN Activities can be easy as we just demonstrated

• FUN Activities are essential to ensuring Chapter, District or Region participants are having fun


Introduction

Have you ever been unable to come up with an idea for a Fun Activity?


Objective

• To provide Members an overview of the Fun Activities Guide

• Provide ideas from the guide to assist with providing/promoting FUN


Overview

• Getting Acquainted• Awards• Games• Rides• Challenges• Assistance


Getting Acquainted

• Do you remember when you went to your very first Monthly Gathering, Chapter Event or Rally

• Do you remember that feeling like being the new kid in the class

• How did you get acquainted with other people around you


Getting Acquainted

• Getting to Know You– Have someone in your Chapter designated as

the “Getting to Know You” person– Each month have them interview someone in

the Chapter to find out a little about their personal life, how they came to GWRRA

– At the Chapter gathering, have them stand up with the couple/person interviewed and tell their story


Getting Acquainted

• Adjective Game– Have each guest introduce themselves by

using a nice descriptive adjective which starts with the first letter of their name

– Example: • I'm Mysterious Madalena

– Each person, in turn, tells the names of the people before them and then adds their name and adjective

– Example• Rick would say, "This is Mysterious

Madalena and I'm Rowdy Rick."


Getting Acquainted

• Human Wingo– Each person receives a

Wingo card and then must go around the room trying to find people who match each square

– Once they have found someone, have that person sign or initial the square

– To make it more fun, and to encourage more interaction, no one can sign a Wingo card more than once
