Video Scavenger Hunt

Here’s a great idea for a party. Host a neighborhood scavenger hunt where all the things to collect are things that the teams have to do. Choose one person on the team to record the ‘finds’ on camera.

For example:

  • All team members slide down a slide at a playground.
  • Push another teammate in a shopping cart across lot end to end.
  • Make up and perform a rap song about your team.
  • Order a Big Mac at any drive-thru other than a McDonalds.
  • Make up and perform a cheer about your team.
  • Clean up litter from the side of a predetermined length of roadway.
  • Each member hula hoops for 10 seconds or more.
  • Etc..

When the predetermined time is up, every one gathers back at the party location and watches the videos, while judges keep track of itmes performed. The team with the most successful items performed wins!

Edible Specimins

Before we begin, let’s be clear about what we’re trying to accomplish, with a few ground rules for the project:

1. What good is a specimen jar if you can’t serve it at dinner?The contents of the jars should be genuinely edible, made out of real food. Plastic snakes and spiders are right out.

2. Make it tasty. While the appearanceof the specimen jars may cause loss of appetite, the scent, by contrast, should be simply mouth watering. There are many ways to get there. Specimen jars can be prepared as an antipasto course (e.g., with preserved vegetables), as a soup appetizer, as a palate cleanser between courses, or a dessert course, depending on the ingredients chosen.

3. Work within the comfort zone of your guests. If your guests are super-omnivores, eager to eat the most challenging ingredients that you can get your hands on– whether that’s brains or balut or something far worse –then go right ahead. However, the point of this project is to make a dish that looks intimidating but actually consists of friendly ingredients. It’s possible to make a truly scary looking set of specimen jars that is (for example) strictly vegan or passes the even stricter dietary requirements that your child may present.

Chocolate Covered Frogs

They’re not REAL frogs….

Melt your chocolate in a double boiler. It needs to be real, pure chocolate. We like Ghirardelli 60% bittersweet chips. They’re readily available, not too expensive, and have excellent texture. You’ll want just enough to coat your frogs. Too much chocolate with a finite amount of crunchy bits will leave a poor crunch density.

Add the Pop Rocks and stir them into the chocolate. Use lots of Pop Rocks; As many as you dare. They’ll crackle a bit when you stir them in, but don’t worry, there will still be plenty of crunch.

Coat your frogs and place them on parchment paper on a cookie sheet. A chocolate fork works great for this, but regular forks work, too.

Chill in the refrigerator until they solidify, preferably in a sealed container to prevent condensation issues.
