TEAM BUILDING 180. Be Gross Hold a “grossest foods” dessert party. I first learned this from my 5th grade math teacher. Once a semester, all of the kids brought in any snack–like food they wanted. Items included: Oreos, Pop Tarts, Gummy Worms, Fruit by the Foot, Nerds, Marshmallows, Peanuts, Doritos, Crackers, Salsa, Ketchup, 1 Mayonnaise, and Sardines . The contest was simple. Try to create the “grossest” combination of the above foods. After the masterpieces were assembled, the class voted on the grossest “recipe” 2 and, if you ate it AND kept the food down, you won. Every time we did it, the teacher was the winner. He would just take a little bit of everything and gulp it down. I don’t know how he did it. 1 I don’t know what kid snacks on sardines, but I guess it happens. 2 I don’t remember now what you actually won. Pride, maybe? 97
