Week 2: Bring Me That…
For this challenge, each fam sits in a designated area of the lecture hall. The Fam Reps will be standing in front of their respective Fams. In each round, a random object will be announced for the Fam Reps to retrieve. Members of each fam should try to get that object to their Fam Reps. Once a Fam Rep has obtained that object, their goal is to give the Head of Staff their item first. This activity will continue until there is one Fam Rep standing.
1st: 50 pts | 2nd: 25 pts | 3rd: 10 pts
Week 4: Fam Chant Competition
