Event Description
ATS Family bonding through competition with other families. Each game gives points (1st - 3, 2nd - 2, 3rd - 1) with prizes at the end.
Attendance
About 53 people showed up, 31 RSVP'ed online. Came from 5 families, 2 of which were combined. The weather was kinda gloomy and it wasn't a great day to be outside.
Events (In order)
- (Family) Ninja
- Families are eliminated when their last member dies
- Towards the end, form a circle around contestants and crowd them in to prevent constant cowardice
- Family Freeze Tag
- Family members run around and can un-freeze one another
- If you are frozen 3 times, you are permanently frozen and leave the field
- Co-op Lychee Jelly Eating
- Approx 20 lychee jellies per family (we used 3 jars of 39 and gave out 25 to each family)
- Each family sits in a circle and eats lychee jellies together..
- You can only feed jellies to the person next to you, and only after you've (completely) finished the one the previous person fed to you
- May require more moderation - one person to watch each family
- Human Knot
- Go around before starting and check knots for solvability
- (Family) Wah!
- Sit out and arbitrate disputes - be semi-strict to ensure that the game moves along, since people get eliminated pretty quickly and have nothing to do
- 3v3 Finger Fencing Tournament
- Round-robin style tournament, each family has sends 3 contestants to fight each other family
- Contestants can be different each time to conserve strength
- Possibly suggest avoiding rolling around on the grass (mud?)
- Relay Race -> Pastry Eating
- Three pastries per family, planned for 6 families -> bought 20 buo luo baos (pineapple buns) from Bao Bao the morning of
- 3-man relay race for each team to bring back the pastries
- After a family has all of its pastries, it is allowed to start eating them
- Three family members eat the three pastries however they like (they can start at the same time)
