Rules:
Each team (around 10 people) must stay together at all times. No splitting up!
You may travel within a 3-mile radius of the church.
Team member's homes are OFF LIMITS.
Each task must be done with a different person--you can't do 3 things at one person's house.
Each team will video their finds or activities. We will not take any items; the video will be our verification. Remember - if you move it, return it!
Trade off who videos so that everyone gets a chance to have fun.
Try to include non-members when you search - it's a great outreach!
Give each participant a Thank you card provided including your service location and times.
You have one and a half hours to complete as many as you can. Notice some have higher point values than others.
Then return to watch the videos, tally the points, and have pizza! (So, try to keep the video time short and sweet!)

5 Points:
Go to a police officer's house and thank them. (If they are not home, leave a note.)
Find someone who can recite John 3:16.
Find someone who knows who built the ark.
Have all your team members stand by your church's sign.
Find someone who knows who parted the Red Sea.
Go to the courthouse and say the pledge of allegiance while standing around the flagpole.
Call your minister and thank him for all his hard work. (If he's not home, leave a message.)
Find a preschooler who can sing "Jesus Loves Me".

10 Points:
Christmas Carol a church member. Knock on the door first. You must sing two songs!
Find a mom rocking her baby. (Baby means under one year old!) Ask her "Who was the baby that was put in a basket and hidden along the Nile?" (5 extra points if she gets it right.)
Someone sitting on a Harley Davidson motorcycle.
Go to the secretary's house and thank her for all she does. (If she's not home, leave a note.)
Everyone put on someone else's shoes.
Find a child and all sing itsy-bitsy spider together - with the actions.
