The night started out strong - we had well over 300 kids there. The 8th grade won the first points of the night since they brought the most kids to club (about 120).
The next competition was to see who could sing the song "Smile" the best. Each grade was judged on their style, lyric accuracy, volume, and heart. Here's a short video so you can see how they did!
For the next two games we moved into the gym.
The first game we played was called "The Starburst Challenge." We spread out all three teams around the gym - the objective was to eat all of the color of Starburst that their grade was assigned, e.g., 7th-Red, 8th-Orange, 9th-Pink. We dumped about 2,000 pieces of Starburst on a giant tarp and just let the kids get after it!
The next game was our yearly edition of "Sleeping Bag Pass." Basically we have the smallest kid in each grade in a sleeping bag being passed down a huge line of kids sitting down. The first kid to be passed down the line and back wins!
Our last game of the night was what we like to call "Speed Dressing." Three kids compete against each other by getting dressed as fast as they can - except they have to keep a balloon in the air throughout the time they are getting dressed. If that doesn't really make sense to you then take a look at the video below!
We ended the night with a short talk about how Jesus loves you "No matter what." We wanted kids to know that Jesus loves us even though we may mess up a lot - he cares about us and loves us despite all of our baggage!
It seemed like all of the kids had a lot of fun. The 8th grade class won the competition, so they will be the defending champions next year and have a chance to repeat as freshman.
I hope all of you enjoyed this little update. Please keep praying for Lake Highlands WyldLife, that God will continue to provide us with lost kids and allow us to tell them about Jesus.
