After a summer of sport it was time for the Forest Games. With a few new faces we started the session with refreshing the FS rules and playing the name animal and action game just to make sure everyone knew everyone else’s names.
We divided into two teams and started with an obstacle race under willow hoops, balancing along logs, hopping over willow hurdles, make our way along the slack line and before a run back to tag the next person it was a swing over a giant chasm (will two sticks marking an imaginary chasm). We then moved onto a relay race with no baton drops with a course around trees through arches and through long grass. From the track we moved on to stick bowls a jack (two sticks crossed and lashed together) was thrown onto the pitch and then everyone threw a stick (marked either with blue or yellow tape) and the team that got the closest won. We finished the games with javelin made from two hazel poles, we had different levels of success at throwing these.
After a cool drink and a biscuit everyone got a medal that they decorated and then it was over to free play. Next week it is tree house repairs and sparks
