 Wizards

Wizards is a game from Russia (Fun Fact: Russia, is the biggest country in the world!). A kind lady named Valiya, came in to teach all the leaders and house captains (including me), the game. The game is kind of like freeze tag but a bit different. The game is simple really, you could have 3 wizards, and 5 runners. you would need and even group of kids, and split them into 2. You could have more than 3 wizards and 5 runners, depending on how much space you have. The wizards job is to tag you, then you need to freeze, on the spot, extending your arms and legs like a starfish, while you do that you have to shout, "Chai, chai, chai!" I think the word means help in Russian. If a runner tags you again, you are free to run. 

Stream

Stream is also a game form Russia, and requires you to be quick. You can have as many people as you want in the game, just make sure to keep the flow going. For this game you would need an odd amount of people in pairs with there hands in the air like they high fived each other. And there is also one more person at the front, running under all the hands and they have to grab one random arm and the person who got grabbed has to follow the person to the back of the line and put there hands together in the air, and the person who lost their partner, goes to the front and repeat the same thing. The idea is to keep it going like an infinite water source. These games were really enjoyable, blog you later!
