Games Galore: Hiss (The Adventurers)

• Greeting Ritual: The students took turns being the Clubhouse announcer during our greeting ritual.

       Here is how our BIA greeting chant goes:

       Announcer: "Check, check, check it out."
       Group: "What, what what's it all about?"
       Announcer: "Jared is in the house."
       Group: "Hi, Jared. Hi, Jared. Hi, Jared." 

       Jared: "Hi, everybody."

• Warm-up Game “Balloon Volleyball”: We revisited this popular game. Students were divided into two equal teams with all players seated on the floor. A line was placed on the floor to separate the two teams. The students hit a balloon back and forth across the line. More balloons were added to make the game more challenging. Teamwork was crucial to keep the balloon up in the air.

• Turn-taking game “Hiss”: Students were divided into two teams and engaged in the game of “Hiss.”  "Hiss" is a great game for all ages and skill levels. The players match colors and make snakes from heads to tails. It can be played as a cooperative game, i.e., all players work together to get as many completed snakes as possible or each player plays against the others. We focused on cooperation today and we all worked together to finish long and short snakes and put them into our snake pit. At the end of the game, we all enjoyed a special treat "Snake Gummies".
