Overview: This activity is sure to lighten up the mood in the office or classroom this Halloween! Your participants will work together to mummify a teammate using rolls of toilet paper and various props. Take it a step further and have each team come up with a creative back-story and theme for their mummy. To wrap it all up (no pun intended) encourage some friendly competition among the crowd and award the most creative mummy, best wrapped, or the best back story!
