We mosey ¾ of a parking lot lap to the gameshow floor. The concept originates from plinko on the price is right. Q plays the Price is right theme song while we mosey our lap not yet telling the PAX what we are doing, only letting them wonder…
Using a tennis ball we “Cast Lots” (throw the tennis ball and roll dice) to determine our fate. See the reflection for where this ties all together…
Everyone takes a turn hurling the tennis ball up the parking lot hill. As the ball rolls down the hill, we do squats and await our fate, an exercise determined by where the ball rolls back down to. Most exercises will be either arms or abs so we do various leg work called out by our show host in the waiting. A special dice is also cast to determine quantity reps for the exercise. Just as people learn the slope of the parking lot, we relocate (mosey) to next section of parking spots to change things up.
Slight changes to the rules (ball rolls back on an even number parking spot quantity of 10 for an odd numbered parking spot quantity of 5.) We roll the other dice to determine the exercise done.
After everyone gets a turn, we transition(mosey) to game number 3, the last area of the parking lot in front of the launch pad. Similar variations of previous are given. The small “target areas” have a decent exercise (even = merkins, odd=LBC) roll dice for quantity, any miss (outside boundaries) results in 5 burpees.
We mosey back to the area we started (game 1). This time it is no longer free to play. PAX have to do quadra-feel-ya (backwards run) up the hill to the top line. (That is your payment) One PAX now may release/roll the ball to see what our fate is as we mosey downhill with the ball. Similar to first round, only this time it cost the PAX a quadra-feel-ya run each time to reset the game.

Reflection:
Casting Lots is a chance game to determine a winner or a decision. “Casting Lots” is mentioned some 47 times in the bible. The bible nowhere instructs us to cast lots in our decision making. We have God and the Bible for guidance and direction. However, I don’t think God minds if we use a game of chance to decide what flavor of exercise we did on this day.
Proverbs 16:33
33 The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is from the LORD.
