I'm working on a Christmas present for my 16-year-old brother, and I could really use your help. Can you please tell me.....
What are the best/most creative dates you've been on?
What creative ways do you know of to ask/answer a date for a dance?
Do you know any fun group games?
Just leave a comment or throw me an e-mail....I really appreciate all of your help! In fact, for the friend who gives me the most ideas there just might be some sort of reward. A Rachelpologie, maybe?
Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteOne of my favorite dates was a scavenger hunt through downtown Boise. It was a group thing and we started with dinner and during dinner at Old Chicago we came up with a list of things we'd have to find and capture on our cameras during the hunt. Then we had something like an hour or hour and a half until we met back at a decided location and we had to have the whole list completed. Afterward we went to somebody's house and went through the pictures to vote on who found the best things. It was a lot of fun because it made me look at downtown in a new way . . .
ReplyDeleteHa, one of my favorite creative dates was also a scavenger hunt. We went all over town and ended up in the foothills where the boys had somehow managed to get a couch up there in a little clearing in the woods, and we watched a movie in the mountains. Random?! But the scavenger hunt part was very doable.
ReplyDeleteAsking/Answering ideas: A guy filled my room with pink helium balloons he had decorated to look like pigs (he taped legs, tails, noses and ears on them, etc) and the note said "I'll go to the dance with you when pigs fly". That was pretty cute.
Someone froze their name into a block of ice shaped like a heart and I had to melt it to find out who was asking. Kind of cheesy but yeah.
I hid my name in an oreo and put it back in the package, so he had to open all the oreos to find who was asking him. You just put a small piece of paper with the name on it, wrapped in aluminum foil, and if you microwave the oreo for a couple seconds, the creme melts back together and you can't tell it was opened. I think the guy told me he didn't find it until like the second to last cookie, or something. Haha.
(Lots of cheesy ideas you've probably heard.)
There's a really fun game if you have a big group, and you pick two people to act out a scenario. They each draw an adjective out of a hat, like "terrified" or "flamboyant" or "sensual" or "confused" and they go out of the room for a few moments. While they're outside, the rest of the group plans a simple scenario for them to act out when they come back inside. Like, "Batman and Robin go to the movie theater only to find out that their show is sold out." Or something stupid and random like that. The couple comes back in the room and have to act out the scenario the group planned for them, on the spot, with the emotions they each drew from the hat. Then the group guesses what their emotions were. That sounds so complicated, but it's not when you actually play it, and it's sooo funny to play.
Sounds like with your creative gift, your brother will be a dating pro!
