Five Fun Outdoor Games
June 1, 2021
Ready to enjoy the weather? Get outdoors with these fun and inexpensive games for any age.
1. Scavenger Hunt
Although this requires some preparation, a scavenger hunt is always enjoyable. You don't have to travel far distances to create one; it's just as fun setting up a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood.
2. Freeze Dance
Select one person to handle the music while the others dance. Once the music starts, the dancing begins. When the music ends, the dancers will freeze in place. Any dancer who moves once the music stops is automatically out. The game continues until only one person is left (the winner). Tip: Don't have a stereo or speakers? Use your phone. You could even sing!
3. Sidewalk Chalk Tic Tac Toe
Grab your sidewalk chalk and find the nearest driveway, basketball court or patio for a game of tic tac toe. Afterwards, you could even whip up a quick hopscotch diagram with any remaining chalk.
4. Obstacle Course
Keep boxes from online orders to create an outdoor obstacle course in the yard. This is also an excellent use for sidewalk chalk!
5. Simon Says
One person is designated as Simon. They begin by exclaiming, "Simon says, [action]." Then, everyone does what Simon requests. If Simon doesn't say "Simon says" when playing, those who do that action are considered out. The last person to get out is Simon for the following game's round.
As we move into the second quarter of another exciting year, I want to take a moment to reflect on our accomplishments and share some of the new initiatives we are implementing in the realms of sales, marketing and community engagement. Over the past year, GBU Life has reached significant milestones thanks to the dedication and hard work of our team and the trust and support of our members. Our sales department has exceeded targets, and we have expanded our reach to more communities than ever before. We have launched several successful marketing campaigns that have not only increased our visibility but have also strengthened our brand's presence in the industry. For this year, our focus will be educating potential new members on the importance of securing their financial futures through life insurance and annuity products while serving their communities as part of our great Society. Looking ahead, we are committed to enhancing our sales strategies to better serve you. We are introducing some tools for our agents to enhance our products. One new tool is our Defined Benefit Annuity program which combines the Future Flex Fixed Index Annuity (FIA) with a software tool that can help determine retirement savings needs and break them down into contributions over time to help you meet your retirement goals. Be sure to keep in touch with your GBU agent to review your plans and products to see how adding an FIA to your retirement planning can help boost your savings efforts
GBU has designated four Community Pillars - Wellness, Education, Charitable Giving and Hometown Hero Support - which are a concentrated list of causes that resonate with our values.
