Story

Activity – [Active Challenge Option] - Zoë’s Overboard (Game: Captain's Coming)

  • Line up facing a wall in the gym. Space yourselves out by at least two arm lengths. Stand in a very straight line and pretend you are part of the crew on the glass boat Zoë goes on in Trinidad and you must learn some commands. Your Guider is the captain. Your Guider will call out the following commands and you will respond right away by doing the action. (Review these with the kids before initiating the game):
  • Scrub the Deck - Get down in a squat position and “scrub” the floor.
  • Man the Rigging - Pretend to be pulling down on the ropes of the ship.
  • Captain's Coming - Stand straight and rigid and salute.
  • Stand at Attention - Stand straight with your arms at your sides.
  • Zoë’s Overboard - Run to the wall, touch it, and then run back and get in line as quickly as possible.

Game – [Cultural Challenge Option] - Do the Limbo

      • Find some island party tunes and grab a broom or long stick and see how low you can go.
