Here is one which I revise periodically (this version was done at Queen's Birthday last November). I run off copies, take to event (with supply of pens), get youths to find people matching the description. I usually have a token prize for everyone (Hersey's Kisses or the likes), and a grand prize given in court for first finisher. The contest teaches kids a little bit about the SCA as well as getting them to meet different people at an event. Watch out, Nataliia's elder daughter is a ringer at this game...
