Survivor Maplewood

Corey and I hosted the last 5th Quarter of the season for the youth at our home....we had a blast! Around 50 youth showed up after the football game to play, and we even had t-shirts made for the event. They were divided into two teams. The game consisted of three parts. The first was a food challenge with southern delicacies which included...pickled beets, pickled eggs, pickled bologna, prunes and pigs feet...yep. They had to to see what they had to eat, and then the person who chewed, swallowed and opened their mouth first won a point for their team.The second part of the game was a mental challenge. They had a two part puzzle...the first was a 8x5 foot board cut into 19 pieces and tied up in a rope. They had to get all the pieces untied and then put the puzzle together. Once it was completed, they received a clue and had to place the second puzzle in the correct order to reveal the verses that our church mission statement come from.The final part of the game was a physical endurance challenge. They had to balance on these wooden beams and logs to see who could stay on the longest.After each part of the game, the losing team went to tribal council to vote off some of the team members. The last tribal council was the team who won the most of the three challenges, and they voted for who they thought should be the Ultimate Survivor!All the kids did an awesome job...congratulations to Deanna and Griffin who tied for the title of Ultimate Survivor and both won a free ski trip!
