www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Youth Camp - Soap Bubble Relay In this relay race groups must blow and fan soap bubbles to a destination and back www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com • Game Materials • Soap bubbles • Soap wands (Bubble wands can be purchased or easily created from clothes hangers or just about any available wire.) • Paper fans (optional) • one pie tin or shallow pan for each group www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Game PreparationYou can purchase bubble solution or make your own. To make your own you will need: A plastic mixing bucket 1 gallon distilled water. Tap water does not work too well and bubbles do last as long. 12 oz. of dish washing liquid (Non-Ultra Dawn Original Scent or Joy are recommended) www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Here’s how: Add the entire gallon of distilled water into your mixing bucket. Stirring SLOWLY so as not to make lather, add in the 12 oz. of dish washing liquid Gently stir in 3 tablespoons (1 oz) of glycerin For longer lasting but smaller bubbles add 4 ounces more dish washing detergent 2-4 more tablespoons glycerin. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Various dish washing detergents will have different characteristics so experiment a little to get the best solution. Also, higher humidity days allow the bubbles to last longer so this is great for rainy days. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Game Play Pour soap solution into 1 pie pan for each group. Each team is given a soap bubble wand In this relay the racer must blow a bubble and then blow or fan it across the room and back. If any team’s soap bubble breaks before it can be fanned across the goal line, than a new bubble must be blown at the point where the last one broke. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com • Variations • This can be done in pairs as well, with one person the designated bubble blower and the other responsible for fanning the bubble. In this case, the bubble blower should follow behind the person who is fanning the bubble. • Add a stopwatch and you can have a competition to see which team’s bubble lasts the longest. • Have a competition to see which team can blow the most unique bubble arrangement. • Have a competition to see which team can blow the biggest bubble www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Potential ApplicationsThis can be used as a discussion starter about the things in life that are temporary vs. eternal. Are you focused on things that will last? What things will last? (Matthew 6:19-21; Luke 12:15-21) www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com
