Keeping with the theme of the Arctic we
learnt about and held our own version of Inuit Games. Bolas or
Kiipooyaq as the Inuit
called them were easy to make and fun to use
We held a
relay race to test ear strength and endurance that the Inuit take great
pride it
The one
legged high kick (or Kick the Seal) proved to be a lot of fun and
gave us some good laughs.
Some of
the Scouts showed great style
Even when
on the ground!
Some had
no style at all. Does anyone know first aid for a Groin
Pull.
We
introduced the Scouts to the Inuit game of blanket tossing (Nalukauq).
First
we practiced with snow.
Then we
tried a plastic bag full of snow and we got pretty good at it.
Then we
tried Ryan, but we had to limit how high we tossed him.
