Games 1 & 2
Have each dad write a nerdy thing they did growing up that they haven’t told anyone before, then later read each one aloud and have the girls who think it was her father raise their hand. Then see who is right and who is wrong.
Pick Your Nose: Across a doorway we will hang a sheet that has numbered 'nose holes' cut in. First the Dads will line up behind sheet with noses and bare feet showing only. One at a time the girls will pick which dad is theirs and write it down.
Games 3 & 4
Blindfolded girls have to apply shaving cream, and “shave” dads with Popsicle sticks from behind and shaving cream…Points awarded for funniest face, least shaving cream left after 1 minute, most shaving cream left, etc. (losing fathers will not be allowed to wash their faces after the activity(for pictures))
Daughters have to try to tie a tie on her dad with a blindfold on and only her dad’s instructions. Points for 1st done, best, & most miserable failure???
Game 5
Dads get daughters ready for a date. The dads and daughters will be teams and there will be two stations.
Crazy Hair - Locate some hair bows, scrunchies, clips, and all the good stuff. :) (Leaders and girls pitching in, If you have anything you don’t need that would be great :) Next blindfold the contestants. Dads must style daughters’ hair in the craziest hair-style they can think of. Take the blindfolds off and have a contest for the craziest hair do's.
Makeup: The dads have to get behind the daughter and put blush, eye shadow and lipstick on her in the correct places. The funniest makeup job wins. (leaders and girls pitching in, If you have anything you don’t need that would be great:)
At the end take a picture of the dads and girls together in all of their crazy hair, makeup, ties, etc.
Bring awards…i.e. 3-D glasses from theaters with the lenses popped out and the bridge taped. Medals with pictures of yoshi on them. Etc.

Schedule:
Girls and Dads come at 6:30
Person in charge of “nerdy things I did”/”pick your nose” activities will hand out a piece of paper to all dads and will not allow them to come in (the girls will come in; maybe we will have an activity or possibly a talk of some sort). The dads will write something down and turn the papers back in. Then they will stand in line with their shoes and socks off in front of the sheeted door. One at a time they will put their noses through a hole in the sheet, and when their daughter guesses it is her father he will be allowed inside.
The emcee will start the program and ask someone to give a prayer, and will announce someone giving a talk on the importance of relationships with fathers. Then emcee will announce the next 2 activities. The shaving activity and tie activity, (done by whoever we can get to do this job (they will come up and explain the activity before starting it)).
We will do the activities and then the emcee will announce the getting ready for a date activity. The person in charge will come up and explain and then start the activity.
Then the emcee will announce pictures/refreshments and ask someone to give a closing prayer.
Pictures and refreshments/ hanging out.
