Kiwi Can Session 3.9.15

Today, we had Kiwi Can. This time it was in the Hall. The topic was Dealing with Challenges and our theme was resilience. It was only Mr Numia here today, because Miss Tuia was sick. They also did not come last week. For our energiser, we played a game called Hand Circle. Each of us sat in a tight circle and placed our hands on the floor. Our left hand went under the next person’s hand, and our right hand went over the next person’s hand. Someone started by tapping one of their hands on the floor, and the hand next to theirs has to tap, and so on. If you tap two times, then that meant that the clap went in the opposite direction. We did two practise rounds before playing it for real. We had so much fun playing, and the circle just kept on getting smaller and smaller and smaller, until there was only one person remaining.

After that, we got into a boy-girl circle. He asked us some questions, then told us that we were going to do two activities instead of one, which was very exciting. The first activity that we played was a game called Doose It. It was a game similar to Simon Says. Mr Numia said jump in, jump out, look up, look down, turn around, touch the ground or wiggle, and we had to listen very carefully to him, and do what he said. If anyone made a mistake, or were too slow, then they had to sit down. This was a very challenging game for me, mainly because over everyone else, I couldn't hear what he was saying.

Unfortunately, I did not get to play the second game, or stay for the rest of the session, because I, amongst others had to go to our Health and Wellbeing group called the 79ers. This Kiwi Can session was a very cool and enjoyable one because it was the first one that I had in a while. Having Kiwi Can is always so fun, but it's a shame that I never get to go with the rest of the class to any sessions.
