The Spring House Games (aka Upper School field day) are an exciting display of House and School Spirit. The students came ready to compete and have fun.
The morning started with each House in their “home room” getting themselves decorated in House specific colored face paint, streamers, pompoms, etc.
Then all Houses congregated in the Commons to get the instructions for the first game, an Escape Room type game with critical thinking “zoom” pictures and word puzzles.
Split into teams A, B, and C, the students lined up as a “train” to race to the appropriate room to solve a puzzle together quickly and then return to tag the next team/train. This game was 4 challenges in one. The Houses could get 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in overall speed, as well as 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the 3 different puzzles.
Below are pictures from the other games/challenges from the rest of the morning.
Spokes on a Wheel –
Three different Tower Building Challenges – Balloons, Cards, and Marshmallow
Warrior Wheelbarrow Race with Back to Back Balloon Pop
Listen to your Captain – Blindfolded Cup Pick Up
Sitting Dodgeball
Three Legged Race with Watermelon Eating Challenge
The final games of Birdie On a Perch and Water Balloon Toss are sadly not pictured. And while the points were being tallied the Upper School students joined with the grammar school students for an all school Dance Party!
And the Winner of 2019 Spring House Games was … House Sapientia!!
House Sapientia – 42 pts
House Fides – 48 pts
House Audacia – 53 pts
(Lowest score wins – like in golf – meaning that the House that had the most first place finishes in the various games takes home the prize)
Sapientia not only “pursues wisdom” but they also purse Victory! Congratulations!
