Hungry Hungry Hippos

Since becoming a young women’s leader, I’ve been going to their activities, like a leader should. Usually we’re doing a service activity or something for camp, or some missionary things. But tonight, we had an activity that was just…fun. The kids all combined and played a life-size version of Hungry, Hungry Hippos. The kids were given helmets, and skateboard-type things, and small laundry baskets. A giant bunch of balloons were placed in the center of the cultural hall.

Then the kids had to roll on the skateboard thing into the center, grabbing a balloon that corresponded to their team color. If you got a green one, you could pick a team to lose all their balloons, if you accidentally snagged a black one, you lost all yours.

It was so much fun, and got quickly into fighting, cheating, and general horseplay. It was a lot of fun though, I wish we leaders had been allowed to play!
