THE PRICE IS RIGHT
.
Our Relief Society put on
"The Price is Right" for a Home, Family and Personal Enrichment Activity. We had a fabulous time. Enjoy the video or read for the details below.
Each sister entered their names into a bowl. I was one of the four contestants that was called to
"Come On Down". It was fun to play it up like I was actually on the show. While we sat upfront an item from the Church Cannery was brought before us and we all bid. The closest contestant with out going over got to play the first game.
The first game played was similar to
"It's in the bag". All of the items were things that would be found in a 72 hour kit. There were 7 items used: flashlight, pocket knife, hand warmers, sewing kit, emergency blanket, emergency candles, and pocket can-openers. The price of each item was placed on the front of the mini-grocery bag. The contestant had to place each item where she thought it belonged. When the correct placements were revealed, the contestant won whatever she got right!
After each game, a new name was drawn and another contestant would
"Come on down". A new item from the Cannery was shown and again bids were made. I won the bid on the second item shown.
My game was
Higher or Lower. There were 5 items found at the Cannery on the table with a false price. I had to tell if the actual price was higher or lower. I didn't do very well. I guessed the jam and potato flakes right, so I got to take those items home.
The third game played was
Shelf Life. There were 5 categories: 2 years, 5 years, 10 years, 20 years, and 30 years. Each #10 canned item from the Cannery corresponded with the number of years it was good for. After the contestant placed each can in a year, the
"Cliff Hanger" revealed how many she had right. The
"Model" revealed the correct placement, and she won the items she got right.
After the three games, all three contestants had a chance to spin the wheel. The 2 that came closest to a dollar with out going over went on to play the
"Showcase Showdown". The two ladies that spun the wheel before me, spun so well, they both tied at 90 cents. Me not so much. So I dropped out and those two were left to showdown.
The two items for the showcase were: a Starter Kit from the Church Cannery and a complete Food Menu for a 72 hour kit, it even came in a handy carrying case. Each contestant placed a bid and the closest one with out going over won her showcase! The left over prizes were first given away as consolation prizes, and then names were drawn randomly out of the bowl.
Between each game there was a brief
"Commercial Break". A mini-talk was given about each category and handouts were available afterwards. The night focused on: 72 hour kits, The Cannery, and 3 Month Food Supply. One of the men in our ward was the
"Vanna" or
"Model" for the night. (I know wrong show, but I didn't know how else to explain his role). The night was fun and well put together. Kudos to the Relief Society Enrichment Committee. I know it wasn't an easy task to pull off, they did a
FABULOUS job.
