1. Glow in the Dark or Black Light scavenger hunt
Program Description: Lead teens through the library with a series of clues. At the
end of each clue, teens find the glowing item and the next clue using a black light.
Cost = $40 per 20 teens.
Note: This is the cost of 5 blacklights + a package w/multiple colors of glow paint. It will
cost more if you buy, rather than make the glow-in-the-dark objects. You can also
spend more money, if you buy prizes for the winners. Make it cheap and easy – buy
candy!
Materials Needed:
o 5 black light flashlights (1 for each group of 4 teens)
o Cheap glow-in-the-dark toys from Oriental Trading
o Glow-in-the-dark fabric paint
o Cheap paint brushes
o Small objects to paint w/glow paint
Staff Prep:
- Decide what glowing items you’ll be hiding around your library. You can buy small
items from Oriental Trading OR to reduce costs, paint small objects (ex. rocks) with
glow paint.
- If you’ll be painting items, make each item distinct in color or shape, so that you’ll be
able to tell that the teens made it to each spot.
- Find approximately 10 hiding places around your library.
- Write 10 numbered clues to help teens find the hiding spots.
Event Instructions:
- Divide teens into groups of 4.
- Give each group a bag to hold their found objects, a black light and a DIFFERENT
clue.
- The first group to find all of the objects wins!
2. Night-time Ninja Challenge
Train teens to be stealthly, night-time Ninjas using the highly sophisticated and proven

Starting with the Jeopardy! Round, teams choose categories and point values from
the board.
After the host reads the question teams who know the answer, should raise their
colored square as fast as possible.
The first team to raise their square will be given a chance to answer the question.
Answers must be in the form of a question.
If they answer the question correct, they are awarded the points from that square on
the grid.
If they do not, they lose the points from that square.
The next team that raises their square will get a chance to answer the question, etc.
The team that answers correctly gets to pick the next category and point value.
Play continues until all questions have been read.
Move on to the Double Jeopardy! Round and repeat.
Now teams compete in the Final Jeopardy Round. First they must decide how many
of their accumulated points they’d like to bet. Each team writes it down on a piece of
paper and turns it over.
The host reads the question and gives teams 2 minutes to decide on an answer and

p.12
6. Glow in the Dark Shrinky Dinks
Make glow-in-the-dark Shrinky Dinks using Grafix shrink film. Teens drawn designs on
the film and punch a hole in the top (for necklace or keychains) prior to shrinking.
Teens can color them in with light colored sharpies ahead of time, but they glow more if
you leave them clear and paint them after shrinking with glow paint. Vendors are listed
in parentheses after each item.
Estimated Cost = $40 for 24 teens (2 sheets of shrink film per teen, 1 key chain and
unlimited necklaces)
Materials Needed:
o Toaster Oven (1-2)
o Clear Shrink Film (eNasco.com)
o Sharpies (black and light colors)
o Tulip Glow-in-the-dark fabric paint
set (eNasco.com/Michaels)
o Scissors
o Spatula
o Oven mitts
o Hole Punch
o Baking Pan that comes w/toaster
oven or small disposable pans
o Fork (for uncurling shrinky dink that
sticks to itself)
o Cheap paint brushes
o Key Chain Pieces (Dick Blick)
o Hemp Cord 1 mm or 20 lb
(eNasco.com/Michaels)
o Needle Nosed pliers
o Large Jump Rings (Michaels)
p.13
Instructions:
 Note: the toaster oven should be turned on approximately 3-5 minutes before you
put the pan in. It heats up quickly! When it’s time, heat it to 350 degrees.
 Decide what you’d like your keychain or necklace to look like. Remember to leave
space at the top to punch a hole in the film. This will be where you connect the
shrinky dink to the key chain or necklace.
 As you draw your design, remember that a shrinky dink will SHRINK. If it starts out
4 x 5 inches, it will shrink to approx. 1 ½ x 2 inches.
 Cut out your design.
 Punch a hole in the top center of the film. Make sure the hole is no more than 1/8 of
an inch from the edge of the film.
 Place your shrinky dinks inside the pan and put the pan in the toaster oven. It will
take approximately 2-3 minutes to shrink. Take it out as soon as it stops curling and
is flat. If you leave it in too long it will look melted.
 When your shrinky dink cools down, paint the back with glow paint. Use several
layers or do a thicker initial coat to maximize glow.
 Now decide if you want a key chain or necklace:
For a necklace:
 Measure out enough hemp cord for the longest necklace you’d wear, then add 2
inches to each side.
 Tie the shrinky dink onto the cord using a “lark’s cord knot.” This will allow the
shrinky dink to lay flat when you wear it:
 Fold the string in ½, finding the center.
 Push the folded center through the hole on your shrinky dink.
 Pull it through far enough so that you have a medium-sized loop on the other side of
the shrinky dink.
 Now, put the loose ends of the cord through the loop and pull tight.
 Tie the ends into a sliding knot. This will allow you to adjust the length of the
necklace. See instructions at: http://www.how-to-make-jewelry.com/slidingknot.html
For a keychain:
 Open a jump ring using the needle nose pliers.
 Slip it through the link at the end of the keychain and then through the hole in your
shrinky dink.
 Crimp it closed using needle nosed pliers.

7. Planet Mobile
Program Description: Make a mobile model of the universe.
Cost = $5 (for glow paint). You probably have everything else in your craft supplies.
Instructions:
Available at: http://www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/astronomy/solarsystemmodel/
I made the following modifications:
- Used cardstock for the planets.
- Cut out the planets using an Ellison die that has five different sized circles on one
die.

8. Glow-in-the-Dark bracelet
Cost = $11 for 20 teens.
Materials:
o Rexlace, Neon Glow-in the Dark (Michaels has Creatology version) = 10 ft per teen
o Glow-in-the-dark pony beads (480 pk from Michaels)
o Scissors
o Tape measure
o Tape
p.15
Instructions:
- To make a 6-7 inch bracelet, cut a 72-inch length of rexlace. This will be your
knotting cord. Next, cut a 36-inch length of rexlace. This will be your filler cord.
- Fold both cords in half. Place folded ends together and tie an overhand knot 1/2-inch
from end. Don’t make it too big, as this will be the “clasp” on your bracelet. (See
diagrams A and B)
- Place knotted end of cords on a flat surface like a table. Tape the knot to the
surface. Make sure that knotting cords lay on the outside and filler cords on the
inside.
- Tie a series of square knots to measure 2 inches in length. (See diagram for square
knot):
 Bring knotting cord on left across filler cords and under right knotting cord
as in “C”.
 Then bring right knotting cord under filler cords and then through and over
the loop made by left knotting cord.
 Now grasp the end of knotting cord that is on the left. Bring this cord under
the filler cords.
 Grasp the end of knotting cord that is on the right. Bring it over the filler
cords.
 Bring knotting cords through loops on both sides, pull snuggly.
- Add the bead through both of the filler cords.
- Tie two more square knots and add the next bead. Repeat this process until you
have added 6-7 beads.
- Tie another series of square knots measuring two inches in length.
- To finish the bracelet, tie the cords into three overhand knots. Trim the ends of the
cord. To fasten the bracelet, push the ending knot through the beginning loop.

9. Lanterns
p.16
Make lanterns with your teens using one of the two methods below:
Japanese Paper Lanterns – Cost = $22 for paper at Dick Blick. You probably
already have colored sharpies and glue.
http://cdn.dickblick.com/lessonplans/pdfs/japanese_lanterns.pdf
Kaleidoscope Candle Holders
Cost = $26 for 20 teens. This covers the cost of 20 $1 candle holders from Walmart +
modge podge, tissue paper and tea lights. Save money by using empty glass jars.
Materials:
o Glass candle holders

glitter)
o Cheap Paint brushes
o 2-3 Small plastic bowls (to wash paint brushes)
o Paper towels (for clean up)
o Tea lights
o Optional: buy glow powder and mix a little into the Modge Podge. I haven’t tested it,
but I bet they’d glow too!
Instructions:
 Cut tissue paper into 4” x 4” or 6” x 6” squares, so each teen can have one square of
each color they’d like to use.
p.17
 Rip tissue paper into small odd-shaped chunks.
 Modge podge individual pieces of tissue paper pieces to the candle holder one at a
time. You can use the pieces to make a random design or create pictures or
patterns. Let dry.
 Add a tea light and you’re done!
10. Star Chart (passive)
Program Description: Post print outs of a REAL star chart on your bulletin board or
other key spot in your teen space and have a contest to see who can identify the most
constellations.
Cost = FREE and up (if you offer prizes)
Instructions:
- Print a star chart(s) with outlines of the constellations.
- Block out the names of the constellations and give each a number.
- Print entry sheets (name, email or phone number and a blank for each constellation)
and place them near the display.
- Draw a winner from the names of teens who got them all correct (or closest!).
11. Fake Neon Sign
Program Description: Make a fake neon sign that glows under a black light using
aquarium tubing and a few extra ingredients. Divide teens into groups of 4. They’ll
need to help each other and can share supplies.
Cost = $30 (for tubing, highlighters and black light)
Materials:
 100 ft. Flexible plastic aquarium tubing (approx 1 ft. per letter)
 5 Glue gun
p.18





20 Cardboard or other stiff backing for your sign
5 Fluorescent highlighter pens (multiple colors)
5 Buckets
Water
1 Black light
Instructions:
- Decide what word you want on your sign. Each letter takes between 8-12” of tubing,
so you might limit teens to a certain number of letters.
- Practice forming your word with the tubing, so that you can get an idea of how much
tubing will be required.
- Cut the tubing somewhat longer than what you think you will need.
- Add 6 cups of water and the ink pad from a highlighter to a bucket. (Note: I was able
to pry the bottom off the end of the highlighter using a pair of scissors).
- Fill the plastic tubing with your fake neon:
o Put one end of the tubing into the fluorescent liquid and raise it higher than the
other end of the tubing.
o Place the lower end of the tubing into a cup so you won't have a big mess. Let
gravity pull the liquid down the tube. You may need to suck on the tube to get
the liquid moving.
- When the tubing is filled with liquid, lift the lower end up and seal with beads of hot
glue. Seal the other end and hold until dry.
- Use hot glue to stick the tubing to the backing you have selected. Form the word for
your sign. If you have excess tubing, carefully cut the end and seal it with hot glue.
- Illuminate the sign by turning on a black light.
