Human Hungry Hippos

Tonight we (the Beehives) were in charge of the combined YW/YM activity. We decided to play “Human Hungry Hippos.” That is where you divide the group up into four teams – each one in a corner of the gym -- and give each of them a recreational PE scooter or skateboard and a laundry basket. Then one team members lies on their stomach on the scooter and one person pushes their legs (wheelbarrow race style) into the center where there are lots of balls and balloons and the one on the scooter tried to trap as many balls as they can with the laundry basket and then their partner pulls them back. They have several rounds and count up their balls each round. It went well and everyone seemed to have a fun time! We ended a little early so that everyone could help clean up and then they had donuts for dessert.
