Games played in camp
Survival
There are 5 rounds, and each round, 2 with the least score are eliminated after playing 10 mini games. Though the games were simple, but image how much effort was put into-- coming up with 50 games, and preparing the materials for more than 100 campers.
Did catch much of the games played, as I being a "senior", went out for
lunch and shopping with the others before 12 noon. But there's a game which really caught our attention:
Everyone was given a can of isotonic drink, and had to place the can tilted without toppling over. How to achieve this? Well, you'll have to find the equilibrium by drinking away the correct amount of water from the can. The fun part was, the campers had to hold some water in their mouth, in case the drink off too much. (yah quite disgusting to imagine one spit back the water into the can)
By the way, I tried playing the game in front of my colleagues during lunch on Mon. After the initial seconds of amazement displayed on their faces, they frantically asked me to put back the can in upright position, for fear it will spill over. No one even dare to try it on their own.
Boo……
To tie in with the sentimental theme, different games which place emphasis on the six senses were played on the third day. After getting some "tip-off" from the map committee, we decide to check out the station "Cry".
There, two competing groups were given a bottle caps, and they have
filled the bottle cap up with tears within 20 mins.
Guys-- as expected, find it difficult to cry, or to shed tears. Some tried to star at the sun, to feel pain in their eyes to stimulate tears. While some try very hard to cry, but then burst out laughing.
Anyway this is an interesting game. Really diffrent from those usual camp games that Singaporeans played.
