Fun Ideas for a Staff Retreat in May

Feet Don’t Fail Me

a)      Everyone goes barefoot for the day;

b)      Paint or stick happy faces on toes and create and dance a happy foot dance;

c)      Paint or stick roses on toes and dance to Moses Supposes His Toeses Are Roses from Singin’ in the Rain. (http://www.zazzle.com/red_rose_sticker-217982755706889259)

Liza Doolittle Day: May 20th

a)      Dress like the flower girl as Liza is/was;

b)      Speak in a Cockney accent;

c)      Find a likely ‘enry ‘iggins to be subjected to Liza’s wrath

Library Limericks

a)      Have each unit compose a limerick suitable for their functions, skills, etc. or for the library in general, i.e.

Our library is really a fun place,

There are many smiling work faces,

There’s no end of glee,

We often go Te-Hee-Hee,

Our building is the coolest of  places.

b)      Have a contest to create a limerick for the retreat.

The retreat we are on is a cool one,

Who knew retreating could be so much fun,

As we share and we learn,

To one another we turn,

And say we are almost sorry the day’s done.
