Description: This program is designed to
get residents familiar with rules/campus policies, and
the different RA's throughout the building. To
allow students an opportunity to meet different people,
have the RA section them off in different groups of
about 3, other than their usual friends. Each
group will be given the name of a RA who is on duty for
that night and they will have to work together to figure
out where that RA's room is located. Once they get
to the room, the RA will have a quiz for them. The
group will have to work together to answer the questions
correctly. Once the quiz is complete, they will
receive one ingredient in making an ice cream sundae.
The group will then receive the name of a different
counselor and they will have to complete the steps
listed above. At the end, they will have a
completed ice cream sundae.
Instructions_Things_Needed:
- ice cream
- chocolate/caramel/stawberry syrup
- nuts
- cherries
- whipped cream
- any other sundae toppings desired
- bowls
- spoons
- napkins
- copies of quizzes
Other Considerations:
Sample multiple choice and T/F questions on the
quizzes include:
- Who is the Dean of Students?
- Who is the Student Body President?
- What is the telephone number to report campus
maintenance problems?
- When walking to and from community restrooms, is
it acceptable to wear beach sized bath towels?
I had 3 quizzes with 3 questions on each quiz.
This was an excellent program that attracted well over
30 people. This worked well because it is hard to
get residents to come to programs unless there is free
food. This program accomplished that while being
meaningful at the same time. Residents got free
ice cream sundaes while interacting with each other and
being reminded of campus rules and policies.
