Last Minute Date Ideas

Play hide-and-seek in a mall as couples. Each time that you

see another couple, write down who they are, and what time

you saw them. After the ending time, go out for banana splits.

Give each couple a tape recorder and a list of sounds to

record for a sound scavenger hunt.

Take your little sisters and/or brothers to a drive-in. Treat

them to drinks and popcorn.

Go to the beach and get into a water fight while walking on

the water's edge.

Spend an afternoon cleaning out your garage.

Get a group together and make your own home-made

pizzas. Everyone bring a topping and a favorite movie.

Vote what you’re going to watch.

Put together a puzzle on a rainy evening.

Go people watching at the airport. Watch for farewells and

homecomings of loved ones. Notice the difference in the

business people and tourists. The business people will

walk briskly, have their briefcases in hand, and will often

look at their watches as they de-board. Tourists, on the

other hand, will walk more leisurely, look at the pictures

on the walls, and even take pictures. For even more fun,

try to single out somebody that looks like a famous

person. When you spot a resemblance, tell your date the

name of the celebrity and see if they can point out the

same person. Don't forget to stop at one of the

restaurants to relax and have some dinner or dessert.

Go on a clover hunt, and see if you and your date can find

a four-leaf clover.

Take a stroll around the block -- and hold hands as you

walk.

Drive around different neighborhoods in your area to find

the most beautiful and oddest landscaping and

decorations.

Find a wild berry patch and enjoy picking and eating

berries.

Go out to dinner and a movie (especially a chick movie that

she wants to see). Editors note: This is not a good first

date (you don't get to talk and get to know each other).

Spend an evening looking through your date's picture

books and high school yearbooks. Find a comfortable

place in the home free from distractions to sit down

together. While looking at the picture books, try to guess

what's happening, where the picture was taken, what

time of year it was, etc., before looking at the description

sentences. The pictures in these books will be lots of fun

for the person showing them. This is also a guaranteed

night of laughing together. You will learn a lot about that

person as they tell you the stories and experiences

behind each picture.

Go shopping together. Let's say you are looking for a

gift for someone like your mother or father. Take your

date along with you to the mall and look for the gift

together.

Bored? Try One of These!

Get together with several other people and go to a

nearby amusement park.

Put on your oldest clothes and head to a nearby mud

hole. These mud holes can be found after rainstorms at

baseball diamonds, parks, fields, and land that has been

previously used for a garden. A long hose will also do the

trick. First have a tug-of-war across the mud. Afterwards,

have races where each person drags their partner

through the mud.

Play video games or pinball. Challenge guys against girls.

Race Go-Karts. / Play laser tag.

Play broom hockey on the ice. Find a frozen pond

(MAKE SURE THE ICE IS THICK ENOUGH!). Have

everyone bring a broom. Use a tennis ball for "puck". Set

up goals on either end. Dress warmly, and take breaks

to have hot chocolate.

Go golfing in the snow. Set up the holes in a large area,

and play with brightly colored balls.

Have a sidewalk decoration contest with colored chalk.

(Ask your RD first)

Invite several people over to your dorm for dinner. When

they arrive, the girls can start throwing water balloons,

and spraying the water hose. If the guys are really smart

they'll pay you back. Afterwards, chill and talk over hot

pizza.

Have a competition making the most elaborate cardboard

box car. Then "drive" the "cars" into the living- room, and

watch a movie. It's a DRIVE-IN!!!

Play "human" checkers. If there is not a board in your

town, make a board with chalk.

(Ask your RD before using chalk)

Buy two disposable cameras. Then go around the town

to weird signs, kiddy rides, or to the park and take

pictures (together and separate). As a second activity,

get together after the pictures are developed (don't forget

refreshments).

List all the city parks in your area which have

playgrounds. Allow space next to each park to fill in a

time and date. Over several days, visit each park and

swing together, then record the date and time until you

have visited each playground. It is a great way to get to

know each other and you'll learn a lot about your city.

Get a can of foamy shaving cream for each person. Find

somewhere that you can make a mess, pass out cans,

then ATTACK! Have a fun shaving cream fight. Make

sure everyone has clothes on that they don't mind getting

dirty.
