Wordless Whenever: Snow Snow GO AWAY(now please)

Trees should NEVER look like this!!!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, life kind of got in the way. Between APUSH work and holidays something had to give, and the blog did. Also there has been a SNOWSTORM in OCTOBER!!! In OCTOBER!! Not OK!! Now we have two snow days so far and it isn't even my birthday yet! November 4th, We are not supposed to have snow days before than! Also if there is one more(which at this rate there will be) we can say good bye to April break(and I can say good bye to March of the Living).

Happy Sukkot!!

Happy Sukkot Everyone!!

Hopefully the three day Yom Tovs aren't driving you quite as crazy as they are driving me. I think they make people rather crazy, at least we don't have them again next year. They have also thrown off my whole blogging schedule. It is rather frustrating. A 4year old I know came up to me Friday night after a Shabbat Sukkot dinner at my Shul if it was time for Havdalah yet, and this boy usually HATES Havdalah.  So since I am to out of whack to feel like writing I am going to post some visual things.

Funny How I Wrote a Similar Thing About Rosh Hashanah

This isn't about Sukkot but it is very funny and I know two of the people in it(the "interviewer" and the Shlomo sitting in the front center)

Icebreaker: Human Bingo

Yesterday was Hanefesh's Regional Kick-off, which was skating this year. I am going to write about that tomorrow though, when I have some pictures hopefully. Tonight I will write about the icebreaker we played.

Human Bingo Instructions


Pre-Event

Make cards with different descriptions of people on it. Make sure the items on the card match the people you are expecting.

I made them using a bingo card generator, or if you e-mail me I could send you mine. I have 45 different cards with about 18 different things out of which 12 appeared per card.

At Event

As everyone arrives hand out bingo cards with pens or pencils.

Explain to people that the need to get signature of people who fit the description on the card to sign the box they fit, and they should try to fill up the card.

Why I Like It 

First reason I like it is that you don't need to take a set time to do it, so at the beginning of an event people can catch up with old friends or start making new ones. I also like that since you have the course of a few hours to do it you can really have a conversation with the people you meet.

So I am attempting to use a new feature called blog this where I post web pages directly as I am on them. I figured this was a good way to test it, also please click the link and help Hanefesh win the international contest to see which regional website can get the most page views:)
