Using a page of an old book, magazine or newspaper, make a ‘blackout poem’ by taking a black marker and redacting words until a poem is formed about your hope for the future. – inspired by Tracey F.

Submissions from the GISH 1-Day Play-at-Home Scavenger Hunt, held during the COVID-19 Pandemic in May 2020.
Item 58 – Library of Congress Veteran History Project
(Up to 60 seconds) Contribute to the Library of Congress Veteran History Project. Virtually connect with a veteran in your life and interview them about the best decision they ever made on a whim and what happened. https://evalogue.life/tools-and-resources/oral-history-interview-questions-and-resources/veteran-history-project/ – Jenni J.
Item 57 – Vintage Tech Bikini
It’s almost summer and you know what that means’ It’s Bikini Season! Your swimsuit is vintage – it’s made out of old, obsolete tech equipment.
Item 55 – Plumber Clogging
Everyone knows that chimney sweeps are great dancers, but did you know plumbers are, too? Show us a plumber unclogging a drain while ‘clogging’ (the dance).
Item 54 – Backward Chores
Reports have circulated that NASA recently discovered a ‘parallel universe where time runs backward’. Let’s see proof. Let’s see you performing your household chores backwards. You are not allowed to submit a video in reverse. It must be you actually doing a chore that would be nearly impossible in reverse. (For example, washing dishes but they progressively get dirtier, etc. but now you can’t use that).
Item 53 – Haute Couture Face Mask
Nobody’s going to embrace face masks until they become fashionable, and right now they’re kind of boring. Design a haute couture face mask that would make Billy Porter jealous. The integrity of the mask (breathability and filtration) must NOT be impacted.
Item 52 – Pet Cosplay
You know how they say people end up looking like their pets? Through costumery, make-up, and perfect mimicry, become your pet or favorite stuffed animal. -Alyssa Z.
Item 51 – Clown Egg
Submit a clown face to the Clown Face Registry. You must paint it on an egg. The catch: it must be a recognizable likeness of a politician you think is a real clown. All we need to see is an image of the transformed egg.
Item 50 – Videoconference Tea Party
The conference may be virtual, but you’re together in reali-tea. Hold a videoconference tea party with four participants: Align the images of all participants in a grid so that you seamlessly interact. Pour tea from one recipient into the frame of another, pass objects such as scones or cakes’ you get the idea.
Item 48 – Distance Reading
Up to 20 seconds. It’s storytime! But lots of children are out of school and missing out on valuable literacy opportunities. Using large visual aids or a projector, and a real or home-made bullhorn or megaphone, distance-read to children on a nearby balcony.
