Finals Week Ideas

[BGDeeGee0607]

Finals week is coming up, and I want to do something fun for the girls as the Scholarship Director.

Any ideas? I was planning an "ice cream break" one night, what else?

Late night breakfast at the library or a coffee study break are always great ideas!

Both of these events could be done at locations on campus like the library or if you have a house you could obviously do it there!

Late Night Buffet at the house is a good idea. Set out a "buffet" of snacks (chips, pretzels, veggies, fruit) out at the house for girls at a certain time.

I like a late night idea myself...like milk, coffe and tea with several kinds of cookies we all love from our childhood, but usually don't eat. It is finals week after all!

Another fun idea is a chocolate night. You can have anything chocolate related...choco bars, cookies, brownies, chocolate milk etc. Don't forget to include white chocolate in there. Chocolate night always brings smiles to faces during a stressful week.

We do Jumbo Hollers. They are really good.

Each night during Dead Week (the week before finals) our scholarship committee and cook worked together to have late-night study treats. One night it might be brownies, the next nachos, the next cookies, the next puppy chow and snack mix. It was never anything that was a lot of work (the cook would make the treats and the scholarship committee would just have to set them out at the arranged time). Usually it was later - like at 10:30 or 11 - and it was a nice break to just hang out, eat and chat for 15 minutes or so before going back to studying. Of course, we were a housed chapter, so that made it easier.

Our house mom had a habit of staying up late during finals week and baking chocolate chip cookies for us. It was lovely.

What about a game of Pictionary? You can divide everyone into large groups that compete with each other.

Do any of the sisters do yoga? They could lead a 20 minute destress session.

This sounds corny, but I've done it with groups of adults when I host parties. I put out games like Operation, Connect Four, pick up sticks, jax, etc. People play them while socializing. You could even pick up coloring books and crayons-things that kids like to play with. I first did this at a sixtieth birthday extravaganza.

Depending on your budget, sometimes you can get someone to come in and do chair massages. We had a Masso Therapy school in the same city and sometimes they can do it cheaply.
