The Great Picnic Challenge
The Great Picnic Challenge is a fun-filled outdoor event designed to get postgraduate students socializing, enjoying the outdoors, and participating in exciting challenges. With a mix of icebreakers, friendly competition, and delicious food, this event offers a perfect way to break the ice, engage in team games, and unwind.
Event Highlights:
• Icebreaker Activities: Kick off the event with a series of quick icebreaker games to help participants get to know each other. Games may include:
o Human Bingo: Students receive a bingo card with characteristics (e.g., “Has visited three continents,” “Can speak more than two languages”) and must find people who match the descriptions.
o Name That Hobby: Participants share something interesting about their hobbies, and others guess who it belongs to.
• Tug of War: A classic outdoor competition! Teams will face off in a friendly Tug of War contest. It’s all about teamwork and strategy, with the winning team earning bragging rights and a fun prize.
• Frisbee Fun: The game will get competitive with a few rounds of Frisbee Toss or Frisbee Golf. Teams will take turns throwing frisbees at targets, aiming for the highest score. It’s an easy-going but exciting way to engage with others while enjoying the sunny outdoors.
• Picnic Break: Between games, participants will enjoy a relaxing picnic with an assortment of delicious food and drinks:
o Sandwiches, fruit platters, salads, and sweet treats (like brownies and Tim Tams) will be available.
o Refreshing drinks such as lemonade, iced tea, and water will keep everyone refreshed.
• Prizes & Closing: At the end of the event, prizes will be given to the winning Tug of War team, and additional fun prizes for the best icebreaker responses or the most creative Frisbee toss. Everyone will leave with new connections and memorable experiences!
