Welcome Back

It was really great to see you all again last night. You all were obviously excited about being back too because it was a very noisy night.

We started the evening off with talking together about our holidays. This was followed by holiday bingo. Most of you really got into this game and did it properly so it was a lot of fun.

We then played Helicopters. Swinging those stockings around with your head seems pretty hard... but at least the ball at the end of it isn't very hard!!!

Tug of War Mountains was interesting. You couldn't leave your box which is pretty hard if you are trying to pull the others out of their box. We should play this again now that you understand how it works. The girls were majorly out numbered by the boys though!! Not that girls are weaker :)

Then you had to fill out forms about yourself, so we know when your birthday is etc. Hope you all filled it out right this time because its great to get a chocolate fish on your birthday. Hmm, us leaders should have filled one out too!!!!

BRRR, the next game was chilly!! 10 Toes on the Rocks.... Dig with your toes for marbles in a paddling pool with ice!! Most of you were very brave!! I'm glad it wasn't me! It was very hot inside so being outside for a game was a good change.

In the last game most of you turned into Lady Birds. You had to stick stickers on the backs of oposite team members. It was enjoyed by all!!

We finished off the program with talking about Rules and what happens when you break them. The rules we decided on were Respect to others and their things, and No smoking, Alchohol and Drugs, and No Cellphones. This year we are going to use a system of Yellow cards and Red cards. You get a yellow card if you get a warning and you can have two of those a night, a third warning is a red card - then you have to leave DropZone for the night. You can also get a red card for major stuff like fighting.
Hope to see you all again next week.
