Devising a plan

    One of the games we had the kids play as part of the camp we put on was an adaptation of dodge ball.  There was a line dividing the field and as the teams hit players with the various objects given to them (rubber chickens among other things), they would sit down.  The twist was that there was a “medic” who would come around and heal the players who had been hit.  The fun part was watching the various teams come up with ways to hide the identity of the medic as best as possible and then try to protect them.  This week’s picture of the week is of one of the huddles before the game as the kids tried to devise their plan of attack.  The winning strategy turned out to be taking the largest kid and using them as a shield for the smallest kid who would be the medic.  As the big kid got hit, the small kid would immediately tag them back in the game.  Genius!  🙂
