Snoodles and Noodle Hockey!

It's been a busy day today, trying to fit as much as we can into the last full day with the kids from St. Mary Magdalene, Grace, and St. Olaf! 

This morning the Roots campers did the Golf Ball Challenge during team building!  It was a tough one!

This afternoon we played a game called Snoodles.  There are 4 teams and each team starts in the corner by a cone.  Each team starts with a noodle in their corner and the object of the game is to get all four noodles into your corner.

Each person playing has a sock tucked in at their hip.  If your sock gets pulled out, you have to freeze and wait for one of your team members to crawl through your legs to free you.

Our last Olympic event of the week was Noodle Hockey!  Each person has a noodle and the object of the game is to get the gator ball into the opposing team's net using only your noodles.  If the ball touches your legs or feet you have to freeze, raise your noodle over your head, and count to five before resuming play.

The game started with the chant: "Marie Wonders is awesome!"  Marie is one of the church staff here with the kids this week, from St. Mary Magdalene Lutheran Church.  Pastor Dale from St. Olaf Lutheran Church is also here this week!  We love church staff!

While two teams faced off for 2 minutes of Noodle Hockey, the rest of the teams took a break and waited for their next game.
