Christmas

Christmas party the other night... went off ok, certainly not the most disaterous we've ever had! No, really, actually it was good. 

Started off with a boisterous game of balloon stamping... and didnt tell them we were going to turn the lights off until they started. Most amusing. 

Then a quiz, kindly made up by one of the other leaders, which was great, except I didnt know the answer to all the questions... ah, maybe I should have watched even more TV as a kid. 

The chocolate game was quite a success, especially as we didnt actually introduce it as such- the leaders got all the bits together, and started playing. One by one, the kids drifted over to join in, and within 3 mins, I stepped away and let the whole lot get on with it. A good piece of gaming with no shouted instruction or any type of information. One could almost call it viral...

The evening finished with charades, which I wasnt too convinced about, but they absolutely loved it. The most well thought out one being Brokeback mountain. (interesting point), everyone seemed obsessed with acting out the film/book content, rather than simply acting out the title... ie breaking syllables into sounds and acting them out... symptomatic of todays youth? I dont know.
