(for Ages Under 16) Plan a surprise anniversary party for your parents. Visit a nursing or retirement home and talk to people about "the old days." Take notes and use the most interesting story to make a booklet from construction paper. On another date present the booklet to the person who told the story. Dress up as pilgrims and have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with several other couples. Make a set of building blocks for a less fortunate child. Blocks can be made with scraps of wood. Have someone cut out various shapes on a table saw (don't do this yourself unless you have experience). With your date, sand and paint the blocks. On a subsequent date, wrap the blocks in gift paper, put them on someone's porch, ring the doorbell, and run. If you want a really good feeling, swear each other to secrecy (don't tell anyone else about this act of service). Give your date a weed arrangement (long-stemmed dandelions accented with other weeds). Do this before a picnic or "grubby" date, not a formal prom. Take pictures over an extended period of time and then make a slide show presentation. Or request childhood pictures from your friend's parent, so you can scan those pictures. Add fun captions to make it more meaningful. Have dinner inside a playhouse and act like you are on the roof garden of an elegant hotel. Ask a friend to cater the meal. Volunteer to assist in a community event, such as Special Olympics, March of Dimes, telethon, or local festival. Buy clothing accessories at a thrift shop for your date, that you each wear for a Formal Dance later that evening (make it a challenge). Or conduct a scavenger hunt to acquire clothing accessories. Maybe you could each choose an accent that you use when asking for articles. Dye boiled eggs together and hide them. Invite several other couples over and host an Easter egg hunt. Go to a parade. Afterwards, go on a picnic. End the day with fireworks. With a little planning, this could be a memorable date. Go to a church dance. Hike to a peaceful place and take time to talk about God, Jesus Christ, and your beliefs about why we are here on the earth. This is a wonderful opportunity to let the Holy Ghost speak to your heart and spirit. Set up dinner on a hilltop or on a balcony with a view of the fireworks. Throw a swim party and have a picnic later. Then watch fireworks that evening.. Is your friend an athlete? Gather newspaper clippings of his/her accomplishments. Put them in a scrapbook and spend a special evening asking about the sacrifices and work it took reach his/her goals. Help decorate for a friend's wedding. Or offer to collect, organize, and deliver the wedding gifts to someone's home. Or decorate the car TASTEFULLY (no pranks). Find a way to make this day special and memorable. For lunch, eat egg salad sandwiches. For dessert, eat your Easter candy while reading passages in the Bible. Page: 1 of 1 All Rights Reserved. CoolestDates.com |
