Post It Note Club
I’ll keep this short and sweet. Post It Note club will stick with the kids for a long time. If you got the pun in there then you would probably like most of my jokes because they are almost all like that, really punny.

Last night we did a fun club, iClub. Basically everything had some kind of technology or Apple twist to it.
The mixers was a Words with Friends type game. Everyone got a label with a letter and point value, put it on their forehead and then the guys played the girls by making a word, lining up and grabbing a knee. To do the game you will need this file I made with letters and points, print it out on standard address labels.
Then once again we used the wonderful Polleverywhere web site to do live polling via text message. We did:
Get your neon gear and leg warmers out… it is time for 80’s workout club! It worked out pretty good (get it?). The only challenge was calming the kids down due to all the energetic events. We could have used another song or two before the talk that were a little more chill to help transition the students so they were more ready to listen. Other than that it worked out just fine (get it?).
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. They got invited to some tournament lower then that and then turned it down. That makes me feel a little better.
Here is our plan for tomorrow. Should be interesting! I’m most excited about the skit.
I’m sure some of you have used YouTube creatively for club. If you have any ideas, let me know!
Here is the file and all the videos you need for this club:
My good friend Jen from Williams, AZ, yes that Williams, AZ that has Lost Canyon… sent me this club plan for X Games Club.
My friend Doug from YL Vancouver Island has contributed to YLHelp in the past and has sent me even more great stuff to share.
Below are his club plans from last semester and the coming semester. He said that the plans are based around a G6-8 (WyldLife) club with notes on the side for the high school club. The talks have the same content for both clubs. Read the rest of this entry »
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 »
