All the old ideas came out. Knight/Mount/Carry, Tape Shapes, etc. One of our leaders said we needed some new ideas, so we sat in silence and thought about it.
Then, it hit us. What if we just put a new spin on the old games. And Izzy Dizzy was born.
We've had her in club twice and she's a huge hit. Here's how it works.
- 2 Leaders introduce a mixer to the kids and get ready to play.
- Just before we begin to play, one of the leaders says that we do this game every year and it's boring.
- Then her music starts. We're using "You Spin Me Right Round" (I think that's what it's called).
- Izzy comes out with tie dye shirt, propeller hat, and whatever else she can that spins.
- She tells us her name is Izzy Dizzy and she comes to club to make games fun (something like that) and ends with "off the fashizzy".
- She then tells us we need to put a new spin on things.
- We ask her what kind of new thing we can do with this boring game & she looks at us like we're plain dumb.
- "No." she says. "You just put a spin on it."
- Then she demonstrates how to spin properly and we play the game.
- Kids are required to spin until they have to do whatever they have to do for the game.
