Activities for October 23^, 2009

Hi Key Clubbers & Book Buddies!

Okay, since I won’t be able to stay long with you guys in doing these Halloween activities, I thought I’d give you a planner of what’s going to be happening. You guys have approximately an hour or so I believe, to get these kids Halloween spirits up and going!

Please arrive at the Library on Friday, October 23, 2009 by 1:20 after school that way we can get going and go over to Marguerita as soon as possible. We will be over there from 1:30pm-2:30pm.

Here’s my plan or so I’m hoping it’ll work out:

1. Set up different stations for each activity.

2. According to each activity, follow the instructions! J It seems pretty easy enough.

3. Please remember to be productive and run the activity as according to planned. We don’t have much time, probably 15 minutes at most with each activity. Depending when they let out for school.

Donations will be appreciated, please help us out!

We need the following:

- Miniature Pumpkin

- CANDY! J (We’ll be needing several bags, so various people could bring some)

- Cardboard wall with holes + bowl (I’ll take care of the “icky gooey” stuff, so don’t worry about that)

- To those who are coming to help us out, it’d be great if each of you guys could bring a pumpkin bucket and we will stuff them quickly in the library at BREAK, OCTOBER 23^RD! So be prompted.

- Fruit Punch or Hawaiian Punch (“Vampire’s blood :P”) and Cookies!

STATION 1:

How Many Guessing Game: Fill up a jar with a lot of Halloween candy and have each student guess how many pieces are in the jar. Record each guess next to their name. Winner in the end gets the jar of candy. J

Once you’ve recorded all guesses …

Pass the Pumpkin! Basically it’s the same concept as “Hot Potato” and “Musical Chairs”. You keep passing the mini pumpkin around until the music stops and the one with the pumpkin is out.

Winner receives a prize!

STATION 2:

Halloween Feel Box: Basically we’re going to have a bowl with “icky gooey” stuff in regards of the Halloween theme.

Examples:

Damp course sponge: brains

Peeled grapes: Eyeballs

Tines of a plastic fork: Vampire fangs

Spaghetti noodles: Slimy worms

You’re going to have all these things in a bowl but there will be a cardboard box with a hole in between the student and the bowl that way they may reach into the hole and put their hand in and feel what’s in the bowl. From their imagination they are supposed to determine what it feels like to them in regards of the Halloween theme. See how creative they can get!

STATION 3:

Spooky Story Time: A Halloween story will be read to the kids and during the story they will be given some “Vampire’s blood” aka: FRUIT PUNCH and cookies.

STATION 4:

Writing and Coloring activity: Halloween coloring sheets will be provided for the students to choose from. They will also have to write on the back what they want to be for Halloween and what they believe Halloween is all about J

That’s pretty much it!

Thanks guys for all your help, it should be really fun!

HAPPY EARLY HALLOWEEN :D

LOVE,

THE KEY CLUB BOARD

REGIONAL TRAINING CONFERENCE & DIVSIONAL COUNCIL MEETING

October 17th, 2009

It was very informative, we learned a lot as to how to run Key Club, how to recruit new members, learned some cheers and tested out how spirited our Divsion really was, discussed service opportunities with the less fortunate in Africa and how we can help lend a helping hand, etc. :) It was a learning experience and pretty good lunch too! Haha.

See the guy in the UNICEF box? We just had to take a picture with him because:

1) It's a UNICEF box costume, how cool is that.
2) He's a cutie, for sure. HAHAHA. (: I doubt he'll see this anyways because he's Division 15 :P

Aside from that .. I got more UNICEF boxes from RTC so if you guys don't have one, let me know so I can get that out to you that way you can raise money for the UNICEF. Remember, winner gets their money refunded for their Fall Rally ticket! So it's an opportunity of getting a
free ticket + you'll be helping us make a difference :)

BUDDY CLUB OF OCTOBER: MISSION HIGH SCHOOL -
We've decided that on Halloween, early evening about 5ish to 7ish we're looking for some people to come join us in Trick or Treating for donations to the UNICEF fund. We've decided to do it early because we're pretty sure you guys might have something else planned for Halloween :)

We'll keep you guys posted with the information as to where we'll be trick or treating, specific time, meeting spot, etc. Hopefully I pass my driver's test so I can provide us rides in driving around different areas if one area fails to be a good trick or treating spot, you know? But yeah!

October DCM

When: Right after RTC!

Location: Same Building

Time: 4-4:30PM

Why? Important info on AIDS Walk, Fall Rally and much more!

RTC, Need Advisors/Chaperones

Since there are so many Key Clubbers in one location we need the help of your Club Advisors and parents! I'd really encourage inviting your club advisors to come because there will be workshops for advisors, lead by the Key Club Regional Advisor. It's a great oppertunity for them to better understand what exactly we're doing in Key along with tips&reminders for helping your club out. If your advisor is new this year, please invite them! There will also be Kiwanis at RTC so it's a good oppertunity for the both of you, officers and advisor to build your relationship with them.

Parents? Yes I said parents. Its also a good oppertunity for the LTGs and Kiwanis to show your parents what you're doing in Key Club, why it's great and hopefully will help you gain extra support in your key club endeavors ;] Parents are also good for carpool!

If you have any adults or club advisors who're interested give them the info, and either let me know or have them email me so I can confirm we have enough chaperones.
