Cupcake Decoration - With a Few Twists

This game requires groups of participants to showcase their creativity and teamwork by decorating cupcakes.

Game Description

The entire group is divided into subgroups, ideally containing five people each. Every group is provided with five undecorated cupcakes or plain muffins, maintaining an estimated 1:1 ratio between the number of people in the group and the number of cupcakes.

A group of counsellors/chairs is tasked with providing the various decorating materials - such as icing, sprinkles, plastic bags for piping icing, extra sugar, etc. However, these additional ingredients are not just handed out: the teams must earn them.

Rules

  1. Only one representative from each group can approach the counsellors/chairs at any given time.
  2. To acquire additional cupcake ingredients, the designated representative is required to undertake a task assigned by the counsellors/chairs. This could range from performing 15 push-ups, reciting a Bible verse, dancing to a music video, singing a song, etc.
  3. After successful completion of the task, the additional ingredients are awarded.
  4. This process continues until the cupcakes are beautifully decorated to the satisfaction of the group.

This game not only stimulates creativity, but also emphasis on physical abilities, memory recall, and most importantly, teamwork.
