Lunch Challenges

• Geography Competition (South America)
• New Testament List
• Bible Challenge (One person from each group came forward. A verse was shouted out. Whoever found it and read it aloud first won a candy prize. Another person from each groups came forward, another verse was shouted out, etc. Sometimes, in order to make the game more quick-paced and competitive, the verse was shouted out before the competitors came forward.)
• The Ultimate Bird List (One group managed to name 98 kinds of birds.)

Dishes

The virtues of a pig bucket. In 2015, we had no pig bucket.

At the boys' Sro-event 2015, we used paper plates for lunch and dinner, and the boys washed the dishes--cups, utensils, and pots--in the Great Kitchen.

Advantages: Pots and platters got washed. Dishwashing was more easily monitored. Dishes could be rinsed before washing and dirty water could be replaced with clean water.

Disadvantages: More trash, a wet kitchen floor, one dishwashing bucket instead of two. Dirty water was dumped in the sinks instead of outside.

Reminders: Put cloth napkins in the laundry basket. Hang wet dish towels on the laundry rack.
