Ice Breaker – Super Bowl Predictions
Most weeks on The Stretched Blog, I ask an ice breaker question on Fridays. The questions are designed to help us get to know each other here in The Stretched Community. I’ll provide my answer to the question here in the post, and then you can leave your response in the comments. While you’re in the comments section, see how others answered the ice breaker question.
(I’m always looking for Ice Breaker question ideas. If you have an idea, send me an email at jon@jonstolpe.com. If I use your question, I’ll give you credit and share your links.)
With the Super Bowl coming up on Sunday, this week’s question seems appropriate..
Question: What’s your prediction for the Super Bowl?
My Answer: I’ll make three predictions:
- The Anheuser Busch Clydesdales will make people cry.
- Peyton Manning will become the oldest quarterback in NFL history to throw a touchdown to both teams in the Super Bowl.
- Carolina Panthers will defeat the Denver Broncos 28-16.

Ice Breaker – Super Bowl Snacks
We’re taking a quick break from the delegation series to have some fun.
Fridays are Ice Breaker days here on The Stretched Blog. Before we get to this week’s question, I want to ask you to help me out by answering five questions related to short-term missions. The survey was initially presented on the blog last week, but I understand some had trouble completing the survey on the blog. After answering the Ice Breaker below, please click here to go directly to the survey. It will only take a minute (I promise).

This wee’s Ice Breaker is inspired by the upcoming Super Bowl coming up this weekend. After you answer the question, feel free to give your prediction(s) for the big game.
Question: What’s your favorite Super Bowl snack?
My Answer: With the new year, I’ve tried to watch my eating habits more closely. After all, you are what you eat. I don’t intend on letting this go for the Super Bowl. Having said this, I don’t think a few chicken wings would throw me off the wagon. I’m not sure I can stomach the heat like I used to, but I still like the taste of Buffalo wings even if they make me sweat a little.
As for my Super Bowl prediction, I’m going with the Patriots over the Seahawks 37-28. I’m not really a fan of either team, but I’ll be watching. We’ll see what happens.

Stolpe Superbowl Scavenger Hunt
Our 1st Photo Stop of our Scavenger Hunt - PV Middle School West
On Saturday morning, our family was trying to pick a movie that we could all see together that night. We couldn’t agree. Leanne and I wanted to see Warhorse. Hannah and Isaac didn’t want to see Warhorse. Isaac wanted to see anything 3D. Hannah didn’t offer any suggestions. At the end of the discussion, I wasn’t real keen on spending a fair amount of money going to the theaters to see a movie that we didn’t all want to see. So my brain started spinning…
Leanne and I wanted to make sure we had some quality family time. How could we make this happen without breaking the bank? For some reason, an idea popped in my head. Why don’t we host a family scavenger hunt? We could create a list that we could search for in our area. We could invite other families to join in our fun. And we could end the hunt with ice cream back at our house. (Leanne says that my idea was just a plot to get ice cream.)
The idea seemed to interest everyone in the family, so we started calling around to some friends. We even posted an invitation on Facebook. A couple of families expressed interest initially, but the short notice was definitely a deterrent. So…it was just us – The Stolpe Family.
The kids kept asking if we should just cancel the event. Isaac was actually pretty grumpy as we piled in the car to start our scavenger hunt, but as the night went on our family began to have a fun time together. We drove around within a 5-10 mile radius of our home gathering different items and taking family pictures at different locations. We ended up at our local Dairy Queen where we enjoyed ice cream together (Leanne didn’t seem to mind the ice cream ending). It was a fun night! Next time, we’ll provide more notice, so other families can join in the fun.
Here are some of the items that were on our scavenger hunt list:
- Moccia’s Train Stop takeout menu
- 1971 penny
- Family Picture at Perkiomen Valley Middle School West
- Ortino’s takeout menu
- chopsticks
- Family Picture at Schwenksville Post Office
- Chinese restaurant takeout menu
- ketchup packet
- Family Picture at Schwenksville Elementary School
- Perkiomen Trail map
