TUG-OF-WARContrary to the name of the game, this game is not your standard usual Tug-Of-War game. I forgot the name of the game, so I’ll just call it Tug-Of-War as it is kind of similar to it. So anyway this is how the game goes:
HOW TO PLAY:Due to the violent nature of the standard Tug-Of-War, only 2 people are allowed to play at one go (one game). GLs who choose to play this game with their groups are allowed to decide how many rounds they want their group to play. But there must at least be a minimum of 5 rounds. The group who wins the most rounds wins.
Basically, 2 people will put the belts on that is tied to the ends of a nylon rope. For safety purposes, the belts can only be worn around their waist and not anywhere else on their body (eg. shoulders). Two chairs with a plate containing 2 pieces of Cream Crackers will be placed at the ends. The
AIM of the game is for them to wrestle their way through and finish up the Cream Crackers.
ONLY BOYS VS BOYS AND GIRLS VS GIRLS ROUNDS!! NO GIRL VS BOY ROUNDS!!!ITEMS NEEDED:1) 1 tin of Cream Crackers
2) 1 small cup of Wasabi
(This is to make the game harder)3) 1 1m long Nylon Rope
4) 2 Belts
(preferably longer ones so as to fit everyone with different waistlines)5) Towels
(optional)6) 2 chairs/stools
Belts would be tied to the ends of the Nylon Rope
Chairs would be placed at the ends which will contain a plate of Cream Crackers each.
OK! this whole thing is from
James and it is up to the
GLs to decide if they want to play it or not.
only the ice-breakers has a list of games you people can choose from. please chose games that will be able to last for
3o mins. this
DOES NOT mean you have to keep playing the game for
30mins. you are to select
A FEW games from the list of "ice-breakers".
and
more importantly, please refer to the post before this post as there are
more important messages there.
GLs: please chose the ice-breakers you wish to play and inform me ASAP so we can prepare enough materials for everyone. THANKS!(:
ALL: there will be a
short meeting after cath class on both
sat/sun to check the list of items and to store the goods. i will be there on both days.
sunday people, please wait for me should i be late on sunday. thanks.
