ELIMINATOR

Hello Junior OSC family and friends,

 

On Thursday December 11th, the rain unfortunately prevented us from going outside and playing at the park, instead we went to the gym and played the game Eliminator. In this game each team tries to shoot balls into the other teams’ hoop and score points. The first team that gets three points which is three balls in the hoop wins. You also have to try to avoid being hit by the balls because if you do you have to go to jail and can only come out when another player on your team throws a ball and hits the post behind the other team.

Mentioning the game excited and pleased many children in the group. This was a game where the children played against the leaders. Near the end the game, the leaders got a little help from a parent who assisted us as we faced the passionate and fierce group of children. I was impressed with how well the children played and the amazing effort they made. They were so determined to beat the leaders and really gave it their all. It was nice to see the children working together as a team and trying to help free their teammates from jail and not being focussed on strictly scoring points. When a child was hit with a ball and sent to the jail they were never in there long because their teammates always helped to free them quickly.

 

Everyone had a great time and I’m looking forward to the rematch.
