Here is the club we are doing tonight. We will have different kinds of cereal out when kids can arrive to make their own bowl of cereal. Kids are dressing up in PJs. We also might have on some cartoons. We’ll see how it goes!

Ever since I saw the commercials for the new show Minute To Win It on NBC, I knew it would be great for YL ideas. My friend Dan made a great discovery… Over 70 clips are available on Hulu.com that explain the games. Only problem… I don’t have time to review 70 clips. So I thought I’d embed them a few at a time and let you all make comments to help morph these into club games.

So have at it… watch the clips and try to come up with a detailed game that could work in club, complete with supplies needed, how many people are needed, how to explain, how to win, etc. Read the rest of this entry »

OK my Sun Devils got snubbed and missed out on the big dance. I know they were a bubble team but oh well. At least they are a #1 seed in the NIT. Did I mention that our arch-rivals at the University of Arizona missed the tournament for the first time 25 years… and didn’t even get invited to the NIT.

I’m so thankful that I’m getting more and more emails and suggestions from all of you out there! You are all really helping everyone out a ton. Including my clubs!

Patrick from Wooster, Ohio sent me his plans from last semester. They include song selections too. I recognize pretty much all the games and mixers, but not everything on the list. If you have questions, I recommend looking at YLPlaybook or asking the comments section. Maybe Patrick can chime in as needed. Read the rest of this entry »

The Olympics have always been a strong theme in YL. I’ve seen plenty of programs at camp utilize this theme. One of my favorite was “Speed and Power”. Speed was an overweight guy and Power was a super skinny guy. Gotta love that. I remember my first club skit in high school was me running through the crowd with a fake Olympic torch before every club game in a toga. Read the rest of this entry »

Since the Saints pretty much dominated the Cardinals, I’m gonna be rooting for the Saints in the big game.

So this Monday we are going to do Super Bowl club with the Super Bowl being the following weekend. Our plans are posted below. Since we haven’t done the club yet, I won’t make any promises on this one. Read the rest of this entry »

North Carolina may almost be out of the AP top 25 in basketball, but they are near the top in the YL club plan polls!

My friend Hugh sent me their plans for the semester and they are great! I like how they mix up club with some different things like a concert and even doing club at the high school soccer game! Read the rest of this entry »
