Christmas Celebration Base Runner

What does it involve:

Taking ownership of and delivering just one of the bases at our Christmas Celebration event at Tŷ Pawb in December

Main tasks:

• Being at the event and running the base
• Getting together a small team of people to help you so you get chance to see the other bases
• Getting hold of the resources needed for the base (expenses will be paid promptly)
• Ensuring you keep the base running to time so that all young people get a chance to do lots of bases
• Completing a written risk assessment for the base

Example bases

• Christmas Karaoke – get the kids singing Christmas hits
• Christmas Crackers – kids need to eat cream cracker then whistle Christmas tune
• Christmas Tree race – teams race to erect & decorate artificial Christmas tree Generation Game style
• Yule Log – for Scouts and Explorers only – a race to saw through a log
• Jingle Bell Shake – empty tissue box full of bells tied to participants backsides, they shake their booty until the empty the boxes!
• Blindfold piping – decorate a Christmas cake without being able to see it
• Splat the Elf – like splat the rat but with an elf
• Message of Christmas – a more spiritual look at why we’re celebrating Christmas
• Elf Collage – let’s get messy with tissue paper and PVA!
• Hungry Snowmen – an adaptation of human hungry hippos with snowballs (https://youtu.be/49ge_xd3GA4)
• Santa’s wish list – a youth vote base
• Burning wood for Christmas – pyrography
• Pull a giant Christmas Cracker – tug of war with a cracker in the middle (perhaps snap-able if risk assessment done right!)
• Blindfold present wrapping – um, wrapping presents blindfolded!
• Your idea here – any other ingenious activity with a tenuous link to Christmas!
