Need a new family reunion idea? Here’s one of the best in entertainment for all at your next family reunion. This activity is guaranteed to be loved by all.
The world has changed from the time everyone gathers at a family reunion, pushing and shoving, to take the most important picture. That of the complete family together at one time. Most of the time you couldn’t even tell what they looked like.
Today, with smart phones in everyone’s hand, selfies can be the most entertainment you’ll enjoy at your next family reunion. It’s not only fun, but you’ll have a picture record of all the members of your family – close up and personal.
As you know, selfies are photographs of yourself taken with your cell phone. Most people stand in front of a mirror, but others hold their phone at arm’s length and snap a picture.
You can also use a selfie stick, which is an extendable bar that holds your phone. Since the photograph is now on the smart phone, you can instantly send it to anyone on your contact list.
Think of those who can’t attend the family reunion. Send them all the selfies to keep them in the loop. It will make them feel they are still a part of your family.
Make it a contest or a rule everyone “has to” take a selfie every 30 minutes. This won’t be hard for most family members.
Here’s what you do at your family reunion:
Gather everyone up who has a cell phone. You can break family members into groups of family, age, height, gender, or just put them in an area (with a great background) and let them start taking pictures with other members of the family.
Have a contest of everyone’s selfie and let the whole family choose the winner. You’ll need to keep an eye on the kids, teens and most likely, Aunt Martha and Uncle Henry. Here are some great ideas for the contest.
• Blowing bubbles with the kids
• Line everyone who is the same height
• Selfies with the grandparents
• Each age group
• All the parents
• All the kids
• Making the best sour face

Although, using a lemon is the best way, a healthier ways is to find sour or tart candy that do the same thing for the face muscles. You can make some great selfies for a sour face. The kids will love being the champion.
