Survivor

games: http://www.party411.com/theme128games.html





get or make their team "logos" so team members are readily identifiable. These activities are followed by a “treasure hunt” that lures them off to your party room for the first real game.





The first game has each team cooperating to keep a ball in the air and off the ground. Have each member of the team grab an edge of a towel or blanket. Place a beach ball in the middle. After "Ready, Set, Go!" each team will bump their ball into the air by lifting the blanket quickly on their edge. The goal of the game is to get as many "bumps" as possible in the time given without letting the ball touch the ground. This means you really have to work together!
Another fun survivor party game that challenges the mind is called "Stranded on an Island.." Players sit in a circle with the party person going first. They will say "If I were stranded on an island, I would hope to have...." and then name something that begins with "A" that would be helpful to have on an island. (An ax, for example.) The next person in line repeats the full line, the word beginning with "A," and a new word beginning with "B." Play continues around the circle until someone can't remember one of the words. They are out of the circle and play continues, skipping them. The survivor of this game is the last one in the circle.

definitions of strength:

“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.”
Mahatma Gandhi quotes

Audre Lorde:
When I dare to be powerful, to use my strength in the service of my vision, then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.
-->Frances de Sales:
Nothing is so strong as gentleness. Nothing is so gentle as real strength.
-->John L. Lewis:
The labor movement is organized upon a principle that the strong shall help the weak. The strength of a strong man is a prideful thing, but the unfortunate thing in life is that strong men do not remain strong. And it is just as true of unions and labor organizations as is true of men and individuals. And whereas today the craft unions of this country may be able to stand upon their own feet and like mighty oaks stand before the gale, defy the lightning, yet the day may come when those organizations will not be able to withstand the lightning and the gale. Now, prepare yourselves by making a contribution to your less fortunate brethren... Organize the unorganized!
Louis Pasteur:
Let me tell you the secret that has led me to my goal: my strength lies solely in my tenacity.
-->Mohandas K. Gandhi:
If your heart acquires strength, you will be able to remove blemishes from others without thinking evil of them.
-->Pearl S. Buck:
I am comforted by life's stability, by earth's unchangeableness. What has seemed new and frightening assumes its place in the unfolding of knowledge. It is good to know our universe. What is new is only new to us.
-->Rachel Carson:
Those who contemplate the beauty of the earth find reserves of strength that will endure as long as life lasts.
-->Theodore Bikel:
All too often arrogance accompanies strength, and we must never assume that justice is on the side of the strong. The use of power must always be accompanied by moral choice.
-->Victor Hugo:
People do not lack strength, they lack will.
-->Vita Sackville-West:
I worshipped dead men for their strength,Forgetting I was strong.
