Israel Mad Libs
Regions will write six (6) Mad Libs having to do with Israel. As with the traditional Mad Libs, USYers will write a paragraph about anything having to do with Israel. They will then pick out words (not only limited to the parts of speech but also things that advance the story) from the paragraph and rewrite the paragraph with those words missing. Mad Libs may be submitted at any time. Any USYer may write up to two (2) Mad Libs.
Israel Collages
Very similar to the scrapbook idea but able to be done without having collected things in Israel. Collages may be done on the computer or pasted. Pages may be themed as well. At least 12 collages must be done. If a chapter does a joint collage it will count as up to three (3) collages depending on the region. Extras will be awarded additional Shekalim.
