Mistrunner Posted September 24, 2016 Report Share Posted September 24, 2016 I know y'all are probably tired of me posting about the band, but I just got back from another game and the football team killed it. I don't really care about football, but if the team makes it to playoffs then the band gets to play at more games. They've smashed everyone they've played so far, so chances are lookin' good. This means, of course, that I get to sit in the kitchen eating ice cream and listening to Queen at 11:00 PM. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on your successful football team and more opportunities for band performances! @Darkness Ascendant It's a game that's easy to play with a class of school kids. Basically, the majority of the kids sit at desks while 7 of them (or if you have a smaller class, 3 or 4) are "it." The kids at the desks put their heads down so they can't see what's going on around them and make a "thumbs-up" with one hand. The "it" kids then go around and each pick one kid at a desk to press their thumb down. Once all the "it" kids have made their selections, they all gather at the front of the room and the teacher calls, "Heads up, 7 up!" which is the signal for the desk kids whose thumbs were pressed to stand up, and then they have to try to guess which of the "it" kids picked them. Anyone who gets correctly guessed has to sit down, and the kid who guessed them gets to be "it" for the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Trader Joe's, though we have a tendency to spend way too much there. Aldi's far better for actually really cheap prices, though (just a very specific selection, rarely two brands of the same thing). jW 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper than Walmart? Now I am concerned! There is not a Trader Joes close enough to me to justify shopping there, and Whole Foods is what I consider a scam. Luckily, Krogers and Meijers tend to have good selections. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
