"Spectator"Activities

SHAVING CREAM HAIRDOS
Select up to five teams of students, 3 or 4 per team. Each team picks one person willing to have their head covered with the contents of one can of shaving cream. At the signal, team members apply the shaving cream to the person's head and start "styling." Give them a limited time, such as 3 or 5 minutes. Let the crowd choose the champion by applause.

CHEESE PUFF STICK
Have 3 to 5 guy-girl pairs up front. Cover the guys' faces with shaving cream (or whipped cream, which is not so gross to taste but does not work as well). Have the gals stand about 6 feet away and throw cheese puffs at their partner. Most cheese puffs stuck to the face in the allotted time wins.

LATEX GLOVES
Get some extra-large latex gloves. Each contestant fits one over his head, down to just below the nose, sealing it with his fingers. They breath in through their mouths and exhale through their nose to inflate the glove. First one to pop the glove wins.

RUBBER BAND RACE
Contestants each put a large rubber band on their heads, over the middle of their ears and on the point of their nose. At the signal, they race, use facial expressions and contortions, to move the band down to their neck. This activity produces great photo opportunities.
