  • Have everyone bring a container of their favorite ice cream and the host can provide the toppings.
  • Make and serve a batch of homemade ice cream at the party.
  • If you are looking for a quick and easy fundraising party, think ice cream! Have everyone on the committee bring ice cream and toppings, and then charge admission.

  • Have a race with everyone balancing an ice cream cone on their head.

  • Team up and make a sundae. Lie down head to head and feed each other. Messy but fun!
