Cricket

Yesterday we had a fun games day with my friends in the Woodlands congregation in Grenada.  I learned some new games that I have never heard of.

SACK RACE
First we did a sack race.  In this race, we put a big sack around our feet and hop in it.  Ronika and I tied for first place in this race.  I can't beleive I didn't fall down.

RELAY RACE
After the sack race, we did a relay race.  A relay race is where you have a team that passes a baton from one player to the next until they get to the finish line.   


TUG OF WAR
We also did a tug of war.  This is the first time I tried a tug of war.  My team didn't win, but it was fun.

JUMP ROPE
We also did a lot of skipping.  I like jump rope.  I also learned a new kind of skipping called Chinese Jump Rope.  Chinese Jump Rope uses a stretchy rope that you twist around as you jump between it.





CRICKET
I also learned a new game like baseball called Cricket.  I had never heard of this before but they play it alot here.  At first I couldn't remember the name of the game and I called it Grasshopper instead of Cricket Smiley.  In Cricket you have a flat bat and hit a ball like a tennis ball.
