<b>Materials:</b><br />
jump suits, bandages, casts, braces, stunt materials (weights, knives, sheets, glass of water, dummy, board, plaster hand)<br />
<br />
<b>Characters:</b><br />
Fred, Gimmel<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Each week these famous two stuntmen (Fred and Gimmel) enter to Kick Start My Heart by Motley Crue, screaming and dancing around.<br />
<br />
They yell to the crowd, "Are we an acne pimple?<br />
<br />
They coach the crowd to yell back "NO!"<br />
<br />
"Are we Bryant Gumbel?" (NO!)<br />
<br />
"We are…Fred Gimmel!" They scream again.<br />
<br />
They are stuntmen from camp to perform for the kids. Each week they attempt a stunt, Gimmel injures a body part and flails on the floor and yells, "Tape it, you gotta tape it!" While his partner Fred jumps in front and shuns the crowd "No, I will not tape it! I will not let you go o! It’s over! The stunt is over!"<br />
<br />
The leader tells them it is over and to get off the stage. Each week when they come back Gimmel is more bandaged up until by the last week he has a neck brace, leg wrap, and a backboard.<br />
<br />
Stunts include: lifting 1500lbs. (Gimmel tears his colon-he gets a semicolon!); juggling knives (cuts his tongue); parachuting into a glass of water (dummy off the roof); karate chopping a board (smash plaster hand). The last club Gimmel can save the leader’s life.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-45368383727770766432011-11-14T10:40:00.004-05:002011-11-14T10:44:34.513-05:00Dodgeball...Capernaum StyleCapernaum Friendly Dodgeball via @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/younglifeec">YoungLifeEC</a><br /><br />Standard dodgeball rules apply.

Lots of clothing<br />
<br />
<b>Directions:</b><br />
Call up 3-5 kids and dump a ton of clothes covering the ground in front of them. Tell them the goal of the game is to put as many pieces of clothing on as you can in 2 minutes. Clothing must be put on as a person would actually wear it. You can't just loop a belt around your neck or toss a shirt over your shoulder. After 2 minutes, have each kid take off each piece as the leader/audience counts it out. Whoever has the most wins.<br />
<br />
Round 2: Call up 3-5 different kids. Do the exact same thing. After the 2 minutes, tell them that the winner is actually whoever can take all those pieces of clothes off the fastest. They aren't expecting it so they've put on as many clothes as possible that they now have to hurry to take off. Make sure you don't tell them the game has changed until after the 2 minutes.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Naomi for the submission!<br />

The floor, ceiling, and ends all come from a single, uncut loop of 20' wide plastic sheeting. The two 10' x 40' sides are cut from the 10' wide sheeting and close off the bubble.<br /><br />Here are the words of the Clubble creator:<br /><i>"We used 20X100ft 6mil poly running a 40 ft floor, up 10 feet, 40 foot ceiling, and finally a 10 foot wall. No cuts needed here; just duct tape the ends (you'll need about 5 rolls) to make one giant circle. Then use a 10ftX100ft 6mil poly for the sides. Cut it at 40 feet, then 40 feet, again. Use the pieces for the sides. You will need to tape them all around to make a cube. </i><br /><br /><i>Add a strong fan. There is likely one in the kitchen at camp. A box fan from a home will do. Ours was strong; we had to cut extra slits in each of the sides to let out the extra wind as follows: one had the fan, another a slit for a 6 foot door, and the final two for 3 foot slits for the front which served as stage entrances. We added an amplifier and speaks.</i><br /><br /><i>This example yields a 800 sq foot room 10 feet tall for about 120 people. You can find all kids of different sizes of poly at Home Depot to adjust for more kids. I would keep the room 10 feet tall unless you get above 300 people, when you might go 12 feet. I created the entire bubble in 2 hours with four campaigner helpers. </i><br /><br /><i>We used the side of the poly to shine the words to songs from our projector, but it only worked at night. This required us to run extension cords inside the stage entrances. We always keep kids outside until the last minute, wondering what it will be about. Once inside, some are always uneasy--will it collapse? Is it too small? Where are my friends? Crank up the music. It roars and the kids love it.</i><br /><br /><i>At the end of Clubble, somehow it has evolved into a Gallagher-style <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gasAFyonmmI">Smash-a-thon</a> (warning: language). A strong, tested hammer is important. And a stump or STRONG table. We usually dress up a strong guy for the deed. The beauty of doing this in the bubble is there is nowhere to run. Here are some items we have used for smashing: chocolate milk, cat food, watermelon, a chicken (anything left over from the dining hall), old peaches, cheese, cantaloupe.... See the picture from last month. If you do Smash-a-thon in a bubble, it is NOT reusable. :)</i><br /><br /><i>A bubble costs about the same as buying each kid a canned coke--but will be a huge hit if done correctly. Call me at my number below should you want to discuss building it--the key is to know how many kids. Clubble is a great place for leaders to get crazy, and kids to have fun, which breaks down walls and allows them to be ready to hear the Good News."</i>Aaronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10942036439628845487noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-29268450368536312162011-01-16T15:44:00.003-05:002011-01-16T15:55:32.900-05:00Trash Can Mixer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggdz3D74acxlEI3bB20pboxTRCN5yi0S8LMshClWEg-iLrD9MU9nMLHPOw-Y5XzE4P7EDiVh_26XYvXNi6mTFwBvQ8Aya6ZYkYfVzDlfp_P0AfOy9u9JBEs2zJd0H5bOHs8wyJhnbDb6Ex/s1600/trash+can.png"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggdz3D74acxlEI3bB20pboxTRCN5yi0S8LMshClWEg-iLrD9MU9nMLHPOw-Y5XzE4P7EDiVh_26XYvXNi6mTFwBvQ8Aya6ZYkYfVzDlfp_P0AfOy9u9JBEs2zJd0H5bOHs8wyJhnbDb6Ex/s200/trash+can.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5562889250451180466" /></a><b>Materials:</b><div>Trash can</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Directions:</b></div><div>Have everyone form a circle holding hands around a large trash can.

You may either have something in club "accidentally" break each week, or you can use it to sell camp.<br /><br />For example, the bus ride: duct tape man can explain how tough a bus ride can be and tape an assistant to the seat, a pillow to their head to sleep, a water bottle to their mouth, headphones to their head. He could help in future weeks with other aspects of camp needing tape…car wash (hose, sponge, towel to assistant), old suitcase for packing, water skis, volleyball.<br /><br />One way that it can be done is that instead of fixing anything Duct Tape Man basically comes in and destroys what ever it is he is trying to fix — but leaves a ton of duct tape all over it. You can also have a leader taunt him because he doesn’t actually fix anything.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-9931013048476656642011-01-02T22:07:00.002-05:002011-01-02T22:13:00.090-05:00Axel & Smash Run-on<span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span><br />rock star costumes<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Characters:</span><br />Axel, Smash<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions:</span><br />Two leaders dress up as punk rock musicians with clothes and long-haired wigs using toy guitars. When the music comes on (use hard/punk music) they come dancing through the crowds with guitars in hand until they reach the front. When they reach the front the music stops and the dialogue goes like this:<br /><br />Axel: "Hi! I'm Axel!"<br />Smash: "And I'm Kid Smash!"<br />Axel/Smash: "And we're rock stars! We're in a band, and we have friends who are going to rock this house!"<br /><br />At this point the music comes on again and they begin to air band to the music. Another leader starts to yell:<br /><br />Leader: "Stop the music! You guys are a joke! You aren't even rock stars!"<br />Axel/Smash: "We aren't!?"<br />Leader: "And you don't have a band!"<br />Axel/Smash: "We don't!?"<br />Leader: "And you guys don't have any friends who are going to rock this house, and you won't either!"<br />Axel/Smash: "We won't!?"<br />Leader: "No! Get out of here! You guys are a bunch of phonies!"<br /><br />Axel and Smash start to leave and before they reach the end of the door, they turn around and yell:<br /><br />Axel/Smash: "Hey <leader's>! We'll be back!"<br /><br />And then they go. We used this run-on 5 or 6 times during the beginning of year, and we set up the final act for the last club of the year where we actually got a band together and had a semi- concert/dance with songs like YMCA, Twist & Shout, Johnny B. Goode, etc. This was a great way to end the last club!Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-90185193212887386392011-01-02T22:03:00.002-05:002011-01-02T22:06:47.020-05:00Wee Man Run-on<span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span><br />costume<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Characters:</span><br />Wee-man<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions:</span><br />Wee-man comes out to do announcements, or just to give a weekly update of what he's been doing. Need two people to pull this off each time. Make up fun conversations that contain many words with "we" in them. The straight guy tells the majority of the story, but saves all the "we's" for Wee Man (played a bit as a geek--funky clothes, etc.).<br /><br />Example: "So yesterday -we- didn't have much to do, so -we- -we-nt out in the yard to -we-ed the flowerbeds. -We-ll, you'll never believe what -we- saw!!..." Also works well if you follow up with "The Lion Sleeps Tonight". Invite Wee Man to stay and lead the "Weee" section of the group!! Lots of fun. Takes a couple run-throughs before club so you don't mess it up.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-53398168273207596552011-01-02T21:57:00.003-05:002011-01-02T22:03:43.500-05:00Hack-saw and Corn-bread Run-on<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkX3AisI17HMUfttKe3AM4vRJ6IEXo48CzmoW22LECl4YJ4924x__RNqcQ7zEgUWjVVkeiat6uGTxOY7s2gBpdueBoz1W6_nUS4ulrLV4s5hHBWfolyQfrkoY6uDgZqfT6vMuN41GCW3yD/s1600/hillbillies.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkX3AisI17HMUfttKe3AM4vRJ6IEXo48CzmoW22LECl4YJ4924x__RNqcQ7zEgUWjVVkeiat6uGTxOY7s2gBpdueBoz1W6_nUS4ulrLV4s5hHBWfolyQfrkoY6uDgZqfT6vMuN41GCW3yD/s200/hillbillies.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557789948664655458" border="0" /></a><span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span><br />hillbilly costumes<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Characters:</span><br />Hack-saw, Corn-bread<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions:</span><br />Two hillbillies Hack-saw and Corn-bread from Itchy Butt Arkansas come in each week and perform amazing new games that they came up with which really aren’t that fun at all.

You stop club and explain that although they may not know it, you actually are very good at impressions and that some kids at club urged you to share this. You do your best impression of the principal (teacher, whomever) and as you really ham it up, they walk in behind you repeating what you say. You realize you have been set up and apologize, they pie you in the face and walk out.

The women there are DOG UGLY!"<br />Old Woman: "What'd he say?"<br />Old Man: (looks at the old woman, then at the gas station attendant, and then back to the old woman and says) "He said he's met you before!"<br /><br />Curtain closes — or lights go down — and music comes on (ideally), or old woman and man get up and walk out of the room like old folks.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2078293060554930702.post-69608648684254538772010-11-15T23:26:00.002-05:002010-11-15T23:43:58.699-05:00Hallway Skit<span style="font-weight: bold;">Materials:</span><br />wallet, strobe light<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Characters:</span><br />2 guys, 2 girls, Sociologist,<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Directions:</span><br />Two guys facing one another at opposite ends of stage and two girls in the back talking to one another. Remain frozen during speaker’s speech.<br /><br />Sociologist: Good evening, tonight we want to demonstrate the phenomenon of casual social interaction. This took place in a school hallway and in order to realize the extraordinary events that we have documented, you must pay careful attention. Okay, lets cut the lights and roll the tape.<br /><br />Two guys start walking toward one another and when they pass, they accidentally bump into each other slightly. One guy says, "Hey man, watch where you’re going!"<br />Other guy: "I’m sorry."<br /><br />Sociologist: Lights please. Alright, did anyone see the intense interaction taking place? No? I told you, you really have to pay close attention. Maybe it will help if we play the tape back and slow it down a little. Okay then, rewind the tape and kill the lights.<br /><br />All the characters rewind their actions, including the girls in background, in fast speed. Wait for the strobe light and repeat scene but slower speed. This time, when guys bump into each other, one of them grabs wallet out of the other guys pocket. Freeze at the end of scene.<br /><br />Sociologist: "Lights up. This time you people had to see it. We are simply amazed at the flurry of activity that teenager are capable of producing in such a short time span. Did everyone notice this? You still aren't able to realize what’s all happening? People, don’t blink. I guess we’ll have to slow the tape down even more. Play it again, please." (Characters rewind)<br /><br />Scene repeats but this time guy taking wallet knees the other guy in the stomach, chops him on the back of head, and then takes his wallet when they bump. Rest of scene takes place the same (after bump).<br /><br />Sociologist: "Lights! This is amazing. I can tell by your lackluster reaction that you are still not seeing the phenomenon we’re trying to show you. Let’s slow the tape down even further and play it one more time." (Rewind)<br /><br />Scene repeats but when second guy get kneed in gut and chopped, he grabs arm of first guy that has wallet and swings over back so laying flat on ground. Pop back up for rest of the scene to proceed.<br /><br />Sociologist: "Lights up again. Now what do you think? Wait a minute. You can’t be serious. The full range of events has still not been revealed to you? This is ridiculous. I can only slow this tape down so much. Rewind the tape, slow it again, and lights off."<br /><br />The scene repeats the same as last time but as second guy flips first guys and gets wallet back, one of the girls walks over and knees guy in groin, takes wallet, pushes guy over on ground, walks back to friend, together they look on wallet, pull out the money, and give one another high fives.<br /><br />Sociologist: "Okay, you finally saw what we did. Thanks for being an attentive audience. Good-night.Timhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02721919248891508860noreply@blogger.com0
