We will give them an application form at that time.  Teachers, please encourage those students who you think would be a good fit for the WEB program to join the activity on their given day. 

• The format for this week is slightly different.  There will be a lot of movement throughout the week with some students leaving for WEB leader evaluations we have made a list of possible games to be played this week with your CREW.  Check them out below.  

Monday - No School 

Joke of the Day: What kind of tea do you drink with the King?  Royal-tea

  • See weekly schedule for past games

  • Game: Zip Zap Zop

    • Students circle up

    • Have to point at someone in the circle with both hands clasped (cannot point to person directly beside them) and say ‘Zip’

    • Next person does the same but says ‘zap’ followed by the next person saying ‘zop’. 

    • This repeats around the circle from student to student, gaining more and more momentum. 

    • KEYS to game:

      • Eye contact (must make eye contact with person you are sending ‘energy’ to)

      • Have to say zip, zap, zop in sequential order

      • ELIMINATION ROUND:

      • Once students get acquainted with game, they can play elimination rounds

      • Whoever says wrong word, takes too long is eliminated

      • Final 4 people can point to person next to them

      • Final 2 go back-to-back and walk away from each other like a western flick, then turn when teacher says ‘draw’ whoever says Zip, zap, or zop first wins.

• • Game - Can You Get to 10?

    • Instructions - This is similar to bowling but with dice. Get class intro groups of 4 to 5. You'll need 3 dice and something to write with per group. Play is simple. Every time you are working to get a total score of 10.

    • Throw one die at a time. For example, a 3 on the die is 3 pins down.

    • 6 is a gutter ball.

    • Double 5s are a strike.

    • Stop when you get close to 10.

    • This might take throwing all 3 dice or just 2.

    • If you go over 10, that is considered a scratch. For example, if you throw a 4 and a 5, you could quit or roll the last die to try to get a 1. However, if you get a 2 or more, you get zero points for the whole round.

    • The goal is to get to 100 in 10 rolls.

    • If no player steps out of the circle, then the “leader” is out of the game and must choose a new “leader”.

Joke of the Day: Why do bees have sticky hair?  Because they use honeycombs.

• WEB leaders will create Groups of 4 or 5 and have the group decide who is the scorekeeper and give each group 2 dice (AFTER the instructions have been given)

• How to Play:

  • The goal of Chicago is to roll every possible number combination that can be made with two dice and earn the highest point total. There are 11 possible combinations, and you’ll have 11 chances to roll. 

  • Each round has a target combination, which starts at 2 and goes up to 12 in the same sequence. 

• How to Score:

  • Game play consists of 11 rounds. Each round has a target score. The first round's target score is 2, the second round is 3 and so on up to round 11 with a target score of 12.

  • If a player rolls the target score on his turn for that round, he scores that total.

  • For example, if it is round 8, the target score is 9. If a player rolls any combination that add up to 9 (e.g. 4-5, 6-3), he scores a 9.

  • If a player does not roll the target score, he earns zero points for that round.

  • Player One Begins

  • The first round has a target score of 2. The first player has one roll. If he rolls a 1-1, he scores 2 points. Any other roll scores zero. He passes the dice to the player on his left.

  • After 11 rounds, add up the total score of each player. The player with the highest cumulative score wins!

• How to Start the Game:

  • You can have each player roll both dice and the highest score gets to roll first.  

• Scorecard: You can create a scorecard with a piece of paper in the classroom.   See below for example

  • • Give each person a small scrap piece of paper and a pencil.

    • Each person writes an action, person, place or thing on the slip of paper. These are all put in a bowl  ("the fish bowl"). Students are welcome to write at most two slips each.

    • Divide the class into two equal teams. One WEB Leader on each team. Teacher will need to help with the timer

    • Round 1: 

      • Decide which team is going first. Ask your teacher to set a timer for one minute.

      • The first person from Team A then runs up to the bowl, grabs a slip, and tries to describe the word on the slip. They can use actions or words (they just can’t say the word on the slip). GOAL: The rest of the  team guesses what the slip says. If your team guesses the slip correctly, then put the slip next to the bowl and you get a point.

      • Then the next teammate runs to the circle and grabs a slip to describe. 

      • Slips cannot get changed or skipped if you pick a slip you are stuck with it until the minute is up or your team guesses it. If the team doesn’t get it, the slip goes back in the fish bowl. The team receives one point for each slip they get correctly.

      • After the minute is up, DO NOT put the slips back into the fishbowl. The round is over when all the slips have been removed from the fishbowl.

    • Round 2 (if time): 

      • All the slips are put back in, but this time people can only act out the slips. (no speaking).

      • Follow the same steps as round one. 

    • Round  3 (if time): 

      • Put the slips back in the bowl. This time you can’t use any actions. You can ONLY say ONE WORD to try to describe your word. If they say anything (e.g. "shoot", "hmmmph", "ahhh") this counts as their word and they can't  skip the slip or say anything else.

      • Follow the same steps as round one.

    • This game has three rounds:

      • Round 1 (Easy): Use one ball. One person starts with the ball. They say their name and the person they are passing to (“My name is ____ passing to _____”). Everyone must pass and catch the ball. Remember the order you passed in (who did you pass it to? Who passed it to you?)

      • Round 2 (Medium): There is one ball. The instructions are the exact same as the first round, except you must pass it in the opposite direction that you just did (reverse order).

      • Round 3 (Hard): There are three balls. The instructions are the same as the first round going in forward order, except that there are three balls going at the same time. The first person must wait until the person they are going to pass to has passed the ball themselves. You win this round if the last person has all three balls and none are misplaced.

  • The WEB leader in the center will name out one of the corners - if you are caught in the corner you are out of the game and you have to go and take a seat. 

  • The Centre WEB leader will then close their eyes and ask their students to move to another corner. WEB leader will guess another corner and if those students are caught they are out.

Friday -  Balloon Pass Challenge

Joke of the Day: A turtle is crossing the road when he’s mugged by two snails. When the police ask him what happened, the shaken turtle replies, “I don’t know. It all happened so fast.”

• WEB leaders have been shown the Balloon Pass game (and we have done this game last year so students will probably be familiar).  Below are the instructions that the WEB leaders have been given:

  • Each crew class will make a line, one behind the other. If you do not have the same amount of students, adults can join to make even teams. The main key for this to be "fair" is that both crew classes have the same amount of people! WEB leaders, have your class line up behind one of you WEB leaders which will help with organization. 

  • The first person in the line will have a balloon. 

  • At the signal, the first person passes the balloon over their head to the next person in line, who continues to pass it back (over the head)

  • When the last person in the line receives the balloon, they run to the front of the line and starts to pass the balloon backwards down the line again.

  • To win the game, the person who started the game is again at the front with the balloon.  

  • Note: if your balloon pops, you must blow up another and continue with the passing.  

  • Winning house team will receive 100 points. If your CREW wins, remind your teacher to email Mrs. Parker. 

• Below are the pairings and location of game:  If you and your partner want to change locations, please feel free to do so!
