On League Sunday, it was sunny, rainy, stormy and then sunny again as we arrived at Elm Park...
In three groups, each developed a new game from existing games with balls, twister, checkers and table tennis.
The first group was thrilled to make up a saturn ball while having some hard time deciding rules at the beginning.
The team of checkers and twister at once works things out very smoothly!
The second group in development of their new sticky table tennis
Sticky Tilted Tennis- Started from table tennis, the third group invented a fun and simple game.
Finale with all playing Ultimate Saturn together.
Is this exercise art? Was this inspiring? Germaine and Bruce finished the workshop by nicely summarising the activity.
To invent a game together, it was important to simplify the rules, narrowing down all the ideas.
I was glad to see all students developing through conversation and no violence was involved...
It was also interesting to see how we used everyday materials such as mixing up table tennis and a wrapping tape. This is not different from the process of making art.
Pay close attention to how your project is being developed this time. And you may come back to this exercise at any time.
These activities look like a ton of fun! I'm excited for summer to be able to play games outdoors now. Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteI've been playing online games, mostly Online Checkers all winter, and I'm dying to get outside.
