Hello!

On 15 April 2015, we had a sports telematch! :) This was also the first time we are wearing our new DHS YAs tee to an activity as we had just collected it the week before. After a rather long break from sporty activities, we finally got the chance to move around and have fun. It was a really sunny day but nothing could stop us from playing to the best of our ability :)

We were split into 2 teams for the entire telematch, and played 2 games and 2 sports in total. This telematch also involved slight elements of physical training in an innovative and enjoyable manner :)

For the first game, each team forms a large circle while the players are in the leg raise position. On go, the first person from each circle gets up and goes to the middle of the circle to skip 20 times with a skipping rope. Then she goes around the circle, jumping over the other team members. After one round, she will lie back down to do leg raise and the second person will do the same. They keep playing until all the players have completed the task. The first team to complete the cycle will run to the opposite end of the parade square, where there will be 2 hula hoops (1 for each team). The second team to complete will have to do lunges across instead. At the opposite end of the parade square, each team join hands to form a circle. A hula hoop will be looped over one player's arm. Without letting go of the other player's hands, she must step into and through the hoop so it rests on her other arm. Then she can slide it onto the next player's arm and she must repeat the same manoeuvre. Whichever team can pass the hoop all the way around the circle first, without letting go of each other’s' hands, is the ultimate winner.

Cheryl skipping as fast as she can!

Yinci from the other team too!

Team 1 trying hard to beat the other team! They were the winners of the first game :) For the second game, each team forms a circle and the players will be in girls’ style pumping position. One person starts by picking a slip of paper (there are 6 slips of papers in total, numbered 1 to 6 respectively), followed by each person in turn. When someone picks a six she will have to do 10 jumping jacks before hopping to the opposite end of the parade square. There, she will have to put on 3 ponchos then start eating a bar of chocolate with utensils (cutting one square at a time). While they are doing this the rest continue picking numbers and if someone else picks a six, she will also have to do 10 jumping jacks before hopping to the opposite end of the parade square to put on the 3 ponchos and eat the chocolate. Once the 2nd person starts doing jumping jacks, the person eating the chocolate has to stop and remove all her ponchos, then run back to join the circle again. If the chocolate runs out before the game ends, they will continue the game with an orange instead. The team which finishes the entire bar of chocolate and the entire orange first wins.

It was a beautiful day and this telematch indeed allowed us to have fun and bonded us more. These are the shared memories that we will always remember <3
