Cultural Games.

                                                              Cultural Games 

Kia Ora bloggers around the world🌍👈. Today I am going to be blogging about cultural games. Only the leaders of the school learn different cultural games and then they have to explain to the whole school how to play different cultural games that they have learned. We learned games from different cultures. It was really fun . I can't remember all the names of the games that we learned. Yesterday we were  greeted by Valiya who was here to teach us a game. Valiya told us that she was from Russia and she also told us that she used to play this game when she was living there. Valiya told us that the coldest temperature she experienced was -35 degrees! Everyone got shocked, -35 degrees must be really cold. The first game we played was called "Wizard". In Russian language it's called Ruchei . She told us the game is really entertaining. When Valiya explained us the rules everyone said to each other that the game was similar to freeze tag. They were right it was similar to freeze tag. Valiya also said  that when you get tagged by the wizard you have to say chai chai in Russian language instead of saying help help in English. She also said that if you cross the yellow line you are out that meant we had to stay in the square so we don't get out. When we started playing the game I got so excited. In the first round the wizards lost. To make it more challenging in the second round we had 3 wizards. I wanted to be the wizard so I volunteered. In the second round the wizards won!

After playing wizards we played another game called "Stream". Valiya was telling us  that we had to get into groups of 2. My buddy was TJ. After paring up we had to hold hands with our buddy and make a bridge. Valiya explained us the rules of how to play stream. If a person loses there buddy they have to go at the front and go under the bridge to choose another buddy. We started playing stream. So first up Nerys  went under the bridge to choose a buddy and then hold hands with. Nerys choose Arelle. Arelle's buddy was Chrystelle. Chrystelle had to go under the bridge . Everyone had a turn going under the bridge. When my friend Mahdi went he choose my buddy TJ . So I had to choose a buddy I choose Masi. Then Mahdi lost his buddy so it was his turn again to go under. He choose me to be his buddy. The time was 10:40 so that meant we had to pause the game. We all sat down and we all thanked Valiya for coming in and teaching us how to play such interesting games. I will surely be playing wizards and stream with my friends again. What game do you play in your culture?
