    Hi Ladies!
    I need some "creative" help. We're having a dessert social for several moms in our HSing support group. I'm trying to plan a few games. One thing I'm trying to do is match up homeschooling terms with candy bars.
    (I did this for a bridal shower...Engagement/Ring Pop,
    Groom/Big Hunk,
    Bride/Hot Tamale,
    Father of the Bride/Sugar Daddy,
    First Kiss/Bit o' Honey).
    Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions for terms to match to candy I'd appreciate it.
    Ideas for other games are welcome too!
    Thanks,
    Shaina

    Mounds--stacks of books and papers
    Reeses--after lunch every day :wink:
    Butterfinger--inevitably happens whenever a painting project is involved :lol:
    Snickers--what we do when someone asks us "what about socialization?"
    Kit Kat--jumps on the table when doing a cooking project with the kids :eek:
    Pop Rocks--dads that love to jump in and teach!
    Nerds--common misconception of homeschoolers :?

    Maybe I can think of more.......

    Brooke,

    The only one I thought of on my own was the Snickers. I had the exact same thing for that, just didn't get it posted. But that was ALL I had. You're hot, keep the roll going!

    Just the fact that I could make a list of at least 25 candybar names goes to show you what commercialism over the years can do to ya :oops: :lol: But just for giggles, here are a couple more......

    Cracker Jacks--new math manipulative game where the whole point is to teach SOMETHING before your child eats all the crackers
    Raisinettes--what children resemble after drying in the sun for too long while enduring the third field trip of the month
    Jawbreakers--what we WISH we could do when people ask us AGAIN about "socialization" and didn't take the hint with our SNICKERS :wink:
    Zero--percent of homeschooling parents who think more of their own self than the needs of their children :D

    I think I'm about wiped out here......(pant, pant :p )
