Fear Factor Activity

Our Priests did this for a combined activity some months back.  First you divide the people into teams. Each has a flag, and when  they move from room to room they all have to be holding onto the flag and NO TALKING to the other teams they pass in the hallway.  Team

 members volunteer for the different rooms obviously rarely knowing what the task will be.  If they refuse to complete it, no tokens are awarded the team for that task. 

1.  In one room the activity was to search a plate of green spaghetti noodles with their face to find like 5 coins in the spaghetti, and push the coins off the plate. There was a time limit to complete this. Each member of the team who completed this got a token for their team.
 

2. A team member had to have a real live snake on the back of neck without moving for one whole minute while being blindfolded. (A person in our ward had tow boas and brought it in for this activity.  He was very worried about the snakes being harmed or scared)

3. The other activity in that room was you had to stand on a chair with your back to the men standing there to catch you.  The team member had to fall back and believe they were going to be caught (they had mats, just in case they dropped you but they had at least 5  men waiting to catch you. )
 

4. Another activity ‑ they had 4 or 5 of those big foam puzzle pieces (depending on the number on the team), and the whole team was supposed to cross the room (to the tape line they put there) and you couldn't touch the floor and you could only have 3 FEET on each puzzle piece at a time, the rear puzzle piece had to be moved to the front when no one was on it.  All had to get across like that, if the team accomplished the task without any mistakes they got 2 tokens for the team.
 

5. In a huge Rubbermaid storage container,  was water with enough potting soil to make it cloudy and dirty looking, and I think a few worms, and a few other things (be creative) there were a number of coins, (team members had to find two) you had to put your hands in it and feel around for 2 coins then you could wash your hands, and each person who completed this task got a token for their team.
 

6. Food ‑They had 3 choices, all covered so you couldn't see them, and by each they had a can of whatever it looked like.  One was some type of canned chili stuff, but it was a thick kind so it looked like dog food, so they had a can of dog food.  The team member had to take a spoonful of it and turn around so no one could see it, eat it, and swallow it, then leave the room  Two was "kitty litter cake" someone got a new kitty litter box,  and crumbled A LOT of cookies in it to make it look like the litter ( I think it was on top of some type of pudding) and then they got tootsie rolls to look like the poop (you roll it a little and make them pointed at the ends), and you were supposed to get a spoonful and eat it and swallow it.  Three was baby food without the labels, I can't remember what they called it, but it was the carrots and peas,  I think.  As each one was used the other team members only got to choose from the items not used for that team.  Each member that ate it got a token.

7. The other activity was in a room with 2 dividers, in the first section, they blindfolded two people and took them back, one person just went to the next room, where there were things you had to eat that didn't go well together, you had to eat sour gummy worms and then suck on a slice of orange (I think there was something else too) and then they had to drink a little cup of vinegar.

8. In the next room someone took the blindfold off to show them a board with a lot of sharp nails sticking out of it, the person is to put ankle weights on and then put the blindfold back on, lay down on their back, and for 30 sec. they are to hold their feet above this board without dropping their feet or it would hurt.  (the board was removed from under their feet just in case they drop them, and then at the end of the time limit, the person in charge of that activity,

 pushes their legs down to make them think they will hit the board when it's really just carpet.

Then after every team had been to every station, they all meet up and the tokens are counted to see who the winning team is.
 

Another version by Sue:

Our ward did this a few months ago and the Scouts were in charge.  First, they divided everyone into teams. Next, they had each team perform a relay race that involved having one team member sitting on a skateboard and having another team member (who is blindfolded) maneuver their seated team mate through a little course they'd made in the cultural hall. The blindfolded person followed the verbal directions of the person seated on the skateboard in order to maneuver through the course. Each team had to send 3 pairs through the course so some teams that were smaller had to send someone through more than once. Each event
was scored so that the first place team received 5 points, the second place team received 4 points, and so on. This gave everyone a chance and made it so that no one was eliminated. The next activity was a "blender" activity where each team selected a brown bag containing unknown food contents that were put into a blender and pureed. One member of each team (selected by that team) had to drink the contents in the fastest time. They used canned oysters with milk, a McDonald's cheeseburger with milk, some spinach and milk, etc. We did see a couple of serious gagging episodes with this part! I can't remember what the third event was...sorry...but I do remember at the end that the Scout Leader gave out some great prizes to the winning team from a local skateboard manufacturing company who donated shirts, decals, sweatbands, etc. We concluded with refreshments. It was lots of fun and the kids still talk about it!
