Casino Night

For our first activity yesterday we had to build a bed out of cardboard and other materials in small groups, each kid then had to build their dreams and place it in the bed. Afterwards we went to see another groups bed and look at what they had designed. Suddenly rumours started going around that one of the beds had been trashed by another group, which got some groups so angry that they destroyed the bed they were looking at.
However no beds were destroyed before the rumours started, but afterwards a few got trashed by the kids who then later on had to build them again from the remains of the previous bed of dreams.
The whole activity was a lesson in how easy it is to build something from scratch, but building things from the ruins of what used to be is very hard. Which was discussed in the evaluation afterwards.

In the evening we had a fancy dinner, where the kids could ask each other on dates for the dinner - and the JC's would help everyone with getting a date if you didn't have one. All the leaders and JC's were taking orders at the dining tables and brought the kids their meals and drinks.
After the dinner it was time for the Casino to open, which featured a human slot machine, a black jack table, a poker table, arm wrestling, a chapel and much more. Was a great nigth filled with dancing, friendship certificates and laughter.
All the kids were tired after a long day and fell asleep very quickly when we put them to bed.
