What to do
- Organize the youth into a circle facing outward with siblings standing together.
- Organize the parents into a larger circle around the youth with spouses standing together. Parents should be facing their children in the inner circle. If some of the parents of the youth are not at the meeting designate sponsors as temporary parents.
- On “Go” parents will rotate their circle by walking clockwise whereas the youth will rotate their circle walking counter clockwise.
- When you yell out “Family Portrait” youth and parents must find each other as quickly as possible and line up together cheek to cheek grinning. (You might want to have some photographers around to take a few fun photos.)
- The last family to line up cheek to cheek is eliminated from the circle and the game continues.
- Continue to play until there is only one family left. Declare them the winners!
