Game Time!

Someone donated some games to our school and my class got to pick out which two they wanted to keep.

They chose Battleship and Twister. 
              I didn't even know kids still played those games!

We had some extra time that afternoon so I let them drag the games out to play for a few minutes.
I have never seen my class in such chaos.

Everyone wanted to play Twister but it's really only a 4 player game. That left me to decide who would get to play and who wouldn't. I resorted to drawing sticks with their names on them out of a basket. (I always feel bad choosing students to do something when others can't!)

The kids who didn't get to play the first time paired up for Battleship or messed with the snails that have somehow become our new class pets.

The kids who did get to play proceeded in the loudest, funniest, craziest game of Twister I have ever witnessed. From their socks making them slide to the awkward positions they were tangled in to the force of gravity pulling at them, everything combined to create one intense game of Twister!

After the original students had their turn becoming pretzels, they switched with the Battleship and snail players so they could have their chance to twist and turn.

Whoever invented Twister-a mat with colored dots on it and a spinner-is a genius. Thank you for my afternoon entertainment.
