Smoothies
Sandwich filler (instead of butter/cheese)
Avocado quesidilla (avocado instead of cheese)
Chocolate pudding (I would guess you can freeze this!)
I mash avocado with Moroccan cured lemons when I don't feel like mashing and mincing a lot of separate things like garlic, cilantro and onion for guacamole. Sometimes we just eat a half in the shell with a wedge of fresh lemon and some salt.
Sliced avocado goes well with mild smoked salmon in toasted whole-wheat bread sandwiches or in a salad with hard-cooked egg, roasted peppers, and tomato.
I would also try mashing and freezing some (without seasoning). Remove any blackened areas first, of course.
During a difficult time last year, when people were sending meals to us, a family member brought us quite a lot of individually-packaged commercial guacamole. I froze them and packed them for lunches for the family. If it works for commercially packaged avocado, it may work for home-made too.

I have never tried this idea because I don't have an ice cream maker, but an avocado-rosewater ice cream intrigues me. One day I may buy an ice cream maker just to give the idea a try.
Parent with three teenagers? Well, guac might last three hours, about as long as they're in the house for one spell.
Depending on whom you are trying to feed, freezing excess guac might be a strategic approach to your oversupply situation.
Good luck.
