Non-competitive competition

Youth love competition, but hate to lose. The way around this is competition that doesn't really matter; competition where skill or intelligence doesn't really help.
  • A team competition that has several events that reflect different skills. Things such as: throw a frisbee at a target, throw it for distance, add up a column of numbers, do a pictionary word, a sprint, solve a logical word problem, etc.
  • For a series of competitions, give out random points (2 for winner, -100, 14; 50000, 4, 16; etc)
  • Have first place be a bowl of Jello, 2nd place be a Snickers bar and 3rd place be a whole pizza.
  • I'll eventually post some “crazy olympics” events.
