Have the students that would like to participate start making a work of art that could be exhibited. Set up a date for them to be finished (no more than three weeks time). Select a jury that is from the community that would be responsible in choosing 10 – 20 top finalists for the last phase of the contest. Those art finalists will have their work on display in school for about 2-4 days. If at all possible try to schedule the last day at the same time as the schools open house or conference time when adults/parents will have the opportunity to view and also vote. While on display, the students’ parents and faculty will vote on their favorite exhibit by depositing money into a locked box that contains numbered slots that coincide with the numbered exhibits.
Hide and Seek: Everyone has played this one. Most parents have played with their kids, since hiding and finding is a common interest of small children. I’ve heard of all kinds of variations on this game. Sometimes you count to twenty, sometimes ten, sometimes one hundred. Sometimes there is a home base that you can run to and tag, becoming “safe,” sometimes you just wait to be found. The general idea is that one person is “it,” that person closes his or her eyes and counts to a certain number without looking and then he or she tries to find the others.
Number of Players: Ideally at least three.
Equipment: None.
