To kick off the year, student council hosts a Friday afternoon hang-out time after the first week of school.
The kids played games in the gym . . .
Musical chairs revised
6 people in the middle; when the music starts they pull a person up & sit down in his/her place. Everyone left standing when the music stops is out.
Wheelbarrow race / spin 7x on a bat / carry a person back
A wheelbarrow pair hurries down the gym. This became much more interesting when 1 person had to have a blindfold on!
A few people fell over after this part of the race!
It was surprisingly hard for some of the pairs to make it back to the start. I'm not sure if it was the lopsided weight on their back or their own dizziness after spinning on the bat 7 times.
Texas Square Dance
It's really confusing to explain.... they had fun......
RAs and dorm parents cheered their dorm kids on from the bleachers. It was a pretty entertaining sight!
After the crazy running around, everyone went to the auditorium & watched an RA movie & played The Price is Right, then ate dinner & went home. It was a fun way to start the school year!
