Ice Blocking

Name:    Michael Moore
School:  University of Idaho
email:   cartoonhotdog@hotmail.com

Description:

This program is a way for you just to get a bunch of residents together at the beginning of the year to get to know each other.  First you get the ice blocks and get everyone together.  You go to the top of a steep and grassy hill.  You put the towels on top of the ice block.  (Make sure the towel doesn't hang over the side of the block and touch the ground.  Now, sit on the ice block, and have someone push you.  It takes a few times before the grass starts to get wet, so be patient.  If needed share ice blocks, after all, this is a community builder and get to know you opportunity.

Instructions/Things Needed:

1) Ice Blocks.  You can buy them at a store or you can even get them from Gas Stations.
2) Towels. Have each resident bring a towel.  Bring extras because someone always forgets.

Other Considerations:

This does tend to tear up the grass, so I might recommend finding a good hill that's not someone's front lawn.  Also, you may need more than one ice block per person.  If you put two together under the towel, and rub them, they will eventually melt and stick together.  Make sure the towel is stuck to both of them.
