A local youth pastor decided that to rent the real blow-up horizontal bungy was just too expensive, so he got a climbing rope, some climbing harnesses, duck tape, and some bungees (the kind you buy at an automotive store). He tied the rope to his truck and used the truck as the anchor. Then he manipulated a bunch of bungees into massive stretchy rope, then secured the bungee rope to the harness with a carabiner. Youth then had to run accross the floor (a slippery surface works well) with a piece of duck tape in hand and then try and see who got their tape to stick the farthest away from where they started. That's some nice creative thinking... although we don't know how safe this idea is an recommend that student's guardians sign waivers before participating :)

Sweded Film Festival Idea
Edge Youth was inspired by Jack Black's new movie, "Be Kind, Rewind", and is trying out a Sweded Film Festival. They will divide youth into small groups and give them a camera, 75 minutes, transportation, and a famous movie they have to remake (this process is called "sweded" [not based on the country Sweden]). Watch Jack Black's movie and you too will be inspired.
Great Video for Crowd Warm-up - Too Funny!
YFC Youth Worker, Calvin Williams, gave us this idea! If you want to warm up a crowd try a "Japanese Tourist English Instruction Aerobics Video!" Watch the whole thing as it gets funnier and more addicting as it goes on. We've thrown out some homemade sweatbands (just cut up some socks) to the crowd, then started the video on the big screen (with a few youth and leaders on the stage as aerobic instructors), and have everyone join in singing/doing the aerobics.

Binocular Soccer - Hilarious
Download a video of a binocular soccer. Could be a great event for small or large groups... we recommend having them sign a waiver before playing. Add in the nice uniforms and it will be complete!
