Human Christmas Tree Decorating Contest

This is an annual tradition at our Young Life Club.

Supplies:

• Green Saran Wrap
• Lots of Christmas Tree Ornaments
• Christmas Lights
• Extension Cord
• Surge Protector

Bring 3 kids up front and have them choose 2 friends each. Then, give each team 2 minutes to turn their person into a Christmas Tree. The first step is to have the person hold their hands straight out so they can be wrapped in Saran Wrap. Step 2 is to wrap the person in lights (unplugged). Then, the kids should put the ornaments on. The Saran Wrap is what holds the ornament hangers, because they’ll poke right through it. Finally, when the time is up, plug all the trees into the surge protector at the same time.

Have the crowd vote by applause for the best tree.

We usually make the winning tree stay up front for at least 2 songs. It makes for some great pictures.
