What kind of feelings do you get from the title of this post??? Creeped out? Acutally, these things all make for one fun night!! Let me introduce you to ICSB High School party, 2009.
I was asked to be a chaperone for the high school party. All I knew was that this was held for all high schoolers on Friday from 7-9 pm. I could show up and make sure no one gets hurt, right??? Little did I know what was in store:
First, each class (freshman, sophomores, juniors, and seniors) were all having a costume contest. Each class chose what they wanted to dress as. Freshman: Atheletes. Sophomores: Ninjas. Juniors: Famous Duos/Trios. Seniors: Rockstars. I was informed that I could choose to dress as any of these or none. Fortunately, I have past experience of being a ninja from halloween, so I knew exactly how to tie a black shirt around my face and fabricate nun-chucks out of two toilet paper roles and a string of paper clips. I was the only teacher who dressed up, but I earned the sophomores enough points to win the contest!!
The night was filled with games aimed to create community and unity among the students. We played some get-to-know you type games and name games to start. Then, some rather physical games were played, including a horse and wagon race. One student was a horse, with the rider on his back piggy-back style. Two people were the "wagon" by holding two other students in a blanket. All of these people had to run around the gym and TOGETHER cross the finish line. It was hilarious to see two girl students trying to carry senior boys in a blanket! They might not have been the best wagon...but they were good entertainment!
The students also played "steal the bacon" which required them to practically drag each other across the floor.
We also had tons of snacks at the party. After the snacks, the students played a "milk-the-cow" game. Rubber gloves were filled with water. Tiny holes were poked in the fingers to allow the "milk" to escape. Then, students had to SLOWLY milk the water in a spoon and race the spoon full of water back to a cup. Whoever filled their cup first won!
The final event of the night was an ice cream eating contest. Two representatives from each class had to eat a plate of ice cream without using their hands. They students ate it all up!! It wasn't until the middle of the race that it was announced, "The freshman are eating frozen mayonaise!!!" But they didn't care about the hazing!! They just kept snarfing the food down.
The night was full of fun and ended with stormy weather in Diosd. There was lots of wind and rain, but it made for a cool Saturday. The weather was perfect for a "Back to Budapest" outing for Crusade people. We spent the morning worshipping together. The afternoon was spent in the wonderful outdoors of the Word of Life Bible college playing volleyball. What a fun way to meet missionaries and enjoy God's creation.
Now you're a Ninja QUEEN.
