The Amazing Race

Last night was our mother/daughter activity. We met at the church where we were divided into teams and colors. We were each given our first clue. . .the race began. There was a challenge that we had to complete at each location before we were given the next clue. Some of the challenges were rock climbing, helping customers at Walmart take their groceries to their car, singing Primary songs to people in a nursing home (one group was asked to sing all 9 verses of "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief"--they were the last ones back to the church)....there were seven challenges total. One of the tasks was to take pictures of each mom and daughter on the steps of the tabernacle (pictured above). The activity was awesome! The girls loved it and some of those moms were pretty serious about winning the race. We finished the night with donuts and hot chocolate.

If any of you want copies of the clues for ym/yw or primary activities, let me know and I can email you a copy. You could totally do this activity with any group over eight. And if you're wondering, we came in 4th---We knew we had lost time when we approached a woman at Walmart and wanted to carry her groceries. She couldn't speak English, so the checker offered to translate---pretty sure that slowed us down. Not to mention, we did have a very pregnant mom trying to keep up with those girls running full speed. I know. . . excuses, excuses.
