Juggling is Not That Hard

Juggling is Not That Hard

Five men of purpose and a member of FIA gathered at AG for activities with the kids.    It was a different experience as many of the kids chose to attend an AG basketball game and thus we had a much better volunteer to student ratio.

The Thang:

Learn to juggle – YHC provided step by step instruction on how to juggle.    This was a good excercise to teach the kids persistence.   One boy was juggling three objects (nothing on fire or anything like that #disclaimer) within 15 minutes.   Others needed encouragement to keep practicing as they looked like Dredd trying to bear crawl #krptonite.  Tryon got all the way up to juggling one ball while Barracuda promised to wear a red nose and juggle chain saws next time.

Puzzle quiz – Determine how many squares were in a box drawn on a piece of paper (big box with many smaller boxes drawn inside).   Correct answer was 40 although Tryon cliams his kid came up with 46 and has filed a protest with the AG principal.   I think Barracuda is still working on his.

Hand-cuff game – Created a rope “handcuff and “locked” two kids together.  They had to figure out how to get “unlocked” (#houdini).   One pair figured it out but the others had to walk to the bus together since they were still entangled when the bell rang.   Hope the parents don’t mind.

Next up – Tryon has Q next week followed by Backup and Senior Chips/Barnabus after that.
