#1: Get your team to Bricks and Minifigs here in town and then using the pieces found in their bulk bins have each team member create a small sculpture that represents “something that would make my life more fulfilling”. As you’re all creating (or when you’re finished) feel free to share with one another what your creation is and reflect on how you might be able to achieve that thing in the future. Then take a team picture all holding up your creations.

#2: Tomorrow is Cinco De Mayo, which commemorates the victory of a smaller, poorly equipped Mexican force against the larger and better-armed French army. To honor their strength, take a video of your team members all consuming their own separate spoonfuls of any brand of hot sauce. Make sure to show the bottle or packet of hot sauce in the video so everyone knows it's actually hot sauce you're consuming.

#3: Get your team to any grassy area next to a sign that has the town name of Helotes in it. This could be a business, a road sign, a park, etc. Once there, take a video of your team all working together to complete the Group Sit & Stand Challenge while the sign is visible in the background. Basically, your team members will all be standing shoulder to shoulder in a tight clump/circle with your backs all facing in and your arms interlocked. Slowly lower the entire interlocked group to the ground until you are in a seated position with your butt on the ground, and then slowly stand back up while remaining interlocked. To watch a video of a group successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#4: Find any two strangers around the area wearing cowboy hats or cowboy boots. You could also find one wearing a hat and one wearing boots but both strangers would need to be wearing one of the required items. Once you’ve found them, take a video of your team all singing the first line of the classic 1941 song "Deep in the Heart of Texas", and then have the two strangers respond accordingly (with clapping and singing)! To see an example of this song being sung successfully click HERE. Sing it loud and proud and encourage your Texas loving strangers to do the same.

#5: Get your team to the bear sculpture seen HERE, located somewhere around the Helotes area. Once there, take a dramatic team picture interacting with the bear (maybe an Oscar worthy reenactment of a scene from The Revenant).

#6: Today is International Firefighters Day (it’s true, look it up). To honor these heroes of the community, take a video of your team completing "Stop, Drop, and Roll" while any regulation/operable fire extinguisher is visible in the background. Be sure to yell each step of the fire safety technique as you all do it together and make sure the fire extinguisher is clearly visible at some point in your video.

#7: Get every team member a large (16 ounces or so) open-top paper, plastic, or foam cup and fill it with water. Then somewhere outdoors line up shoulder to shoulder and balance a full cup on each team member’s head. Once everyone’s cups are balanced, hold hands with the team members on either side of you and take a video of your team working together to all take 10 steps forward without anyone touching their cup or having it spill. If someone’s cup spills make sure to encourage them and then refill any spilled cups and start again as a team. After your team successfully travels 10 steps together dump the cups to prove they were full, and then celebrate!

#8: This weekend we celebrate Mother’s Day, which was originally founded in 1908 by Anna Jarvis. To honor the great women everywhere that deserve our praise take a video of your team members hugging or high-fiving any female who is pushing a stroller around town as you give her words of encouragement such as "we believe in you", "you're awesome", "you're doing a great job", etc. Make sure your video shows the stroller at some point, although the child doesn’t need to be recorded.

#9: Get to any clothing or apparel store and find two different items with enough in stock that every team member can be wearing the same two items in their own sizes. Then take a fun team picture with everyone wearing those items. For example it may be a wacky shirt, and a pair of shorts. Or maybe some cozy slippers and a large sun hat. As long as everyone is wearing the same exact two items but in their own sizes.

#10: Take a video of your team successfully completing the Whipped Cream Catapult Challenge (click the link at the end of this description to see it performed properly). Divide your team into pairs. Have someone squirt a dollop (small lump) of whipped cream onto the back of their hand. Have the other person stand a few feet away from them ready to catch the whipped cream in their mouth. The person with the whipped cream on their hand will swing their arm back, palm down. When that hand gets back in front of them at about waist height, they’ll strike their wrist with their other free hand, causing the whipped cream to go flying. The second person should successfully catch the whipped cream in their mouth, or at least catch some of it in their mouth and the rest on their face. To complete this challenge at least half your team should make a successful catch in the video. To understand the challenge better and to watch a video of a team successfully completing it click HERE.

#11: San Antonio is home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the United States. San Antonio is also home to the Department of Defense's largest medical center at Joint Base San Antonio Fort Sam Houston. Anywhere around the area find an active military person or a veteran. They could be wearing some form of military or veteran attire, have a military ID, or they could simply describe their military background while you’re completing your challenge. Once you’ve found someone, take a video of them watching your entire team doing 10 push-ups or sit-ups at their feet to honor their strength and courage. After you’ve finished recording, spend a few minutes learning more about their time in the service before you depart, as a small gesture of appreciation.

#12: Find any vending machine (either with food, drinks, kids trinkets, etc) and put enough money into it that any one item could be gotten. Don’t select anything but instead leave a note that says “Any item of your choice on us! Love, Xsellence Realty”. Then take a picture of your team so that the vending machine, the deposited amount (if applicable), and your note are all visible if possible.

#13: Take a picture of your team while an old fashioned barber pole is visible in the background. It will likely be a staff or pole with a helix of colored stripes and might be stationary or revolve. To view an example of a valid barber pole and learn the history of them click HERE.

#14: When you work in the real estate industry you have likely used Scotch Tape for just about everything. Well, except this. To honor this incredibly versatile American-made product take a fun team picture after everyone uses Scotch tape to stretch and distort their faces to the extreme. For some inspiration click HERE.

#15: Find a postcard that features this area in some way, or a unique greeting card, and purchase it. Then click HERE to go to the Postcard Happiness Project website and scroll down to the profile for John Craig, an adult with Downs Syndrome from Oregon that loves to receive mail. On your card include a fun or uplifting message and sign it with your names or your group name. The mailing address for John can be found in his profile description. Take a team picture with your signed card to show you’ve completed your Act Of Kindness, and then after the event or along the way stamp your card and drop it in the mail.
