Hungry?
Get ready for an
A L L you can E A T
opportunity.
It's time to kick it back and relax, while you take many RV vacations! It has finally warmed up and the Veurinks' RV team wants to equip you with all of your RV needs this summer. From parts and accessories, upgrading to a newer RV, tips & tricks, to even a new camping recipe to add to your next adventure....we are here to help!
We believe it is important to be involved in the life of your own children and family. We get it...busy work schedules, weekly commitments, daily meetings, kids have their schedules....you burn out fast if you don't have a healthy balance. Well, summertime is a perfect time, to gather the whole family and friends and spend some much needed time together. Whether you have smaller children, adolescents, or even young adults in the family, this activity we have for you is a great way to recollect and make memories.
Now, this activity involves very few items, but an appetite to get a little competitive AND messy!
MATERIALS:
Several Large Watermelons (cut up)
Plates
Hungry Stomachs :)
What are we doing, you ask?
W A T E R M E L O N eating C O N T E S T!
Depending on the size of your group, you can customize it to your liking. You can make it harder by blindfolding the participants, not allowing them to use their hands, as well as timing them. You can create your own rules and ways to spice up this family fun activity up, to tailor it to your audience.
Did we mention, this is a great way to encourage your kids to eat healthy watermelons?
Just thought we'd throw that one out there.
A basic round could consist of 4-5 participants holding their hands behind their back. They will be timed for 2-3 minutes and see who can eat the most slices in that given amount of time. You may have a helper for each person participating, in giving them a new slice, once they are done with that slice they just devoured. Whoever the winner is in each round, will be part of the final round. You could have several rounds of the basic round, depending on how many people are playing overall. We have done this activity with 25 kids, and have split it up 4 of the basic rounds, to gather our final playoff round participants.
Remember, no hands - ALL mouth!
Now, parents, you are not off the hook ;) There is always a round for the adults and parents! This is a way for your children to see you in a playful side of participation, as well as it encourages your kids to cheer you on.
Gather the adults and get ready to smash your face in some watermelons....not to mention, get your kids laughing hysterically.
The final round consists of the same rules (or you can change it up to make it harder,) and participants will be timed for a longer amount of time!
We hope this gave you some inspiration to have some family fun and some quality time with the ones you love. You'll have the whole RV park at your site wanting to participate in this watermelon eating contest....AND they won't just be drooling over the watermelons, but at your sweet RV from Veurinks' RV Center ;)
