family game night!

here's the advertisement for our next family ministries event, a game night with massive board games that we've got to figure out how to construct in the next week. the top secret but very awesome game lineup includes:

-hungry, hungry hippos (the balls will be balloons falling from the ceiling)
-battleship (with human battleships that will get "fired upon" with water balloons)
-jenga
-snakes and ladders (also known as chutes and ladders)
-twister
-candy land

we'll have themed snacks as well, which we still have yet to plan. at the moment we're thinking about gummi snakes (for snakes and ladders) and decorated brownies that will look like dominoes. any suggestions?

so far, we've had the movie night, which was a huge hit, and a mother's day event that involved us watching the kids while the parents get a night to themselves. we're having a blast volunteering with the family ministry, and can't wait until we're in a place where we can get paid for this!

    You could also frost the brownies with cream cheese icing and put letters on the icing to create Scrabble tiles. Or you could make scrabble tiles out of rice crispy treats.

    Sounds like a fun night...even for a guy who isn't big on games. Save a round of Candyland for me:)

    How about some Starburst squares for Twister squares, don't know if they do the right colors though. Sounds like fabulous fun! CB

    Actually, a white sheet cake and some food coloring to paint in the Twister squares would work pretty well, and be easy. CB
