They and six others have just re- turned from a trip to Geraldton accompanied by Schreiber Rec. Direc- tor Ron Larivee. It's all a part of the 'Sports Festival". At the festival sponsored by Geraldton, the object was 'to teach children aged 9, 10 and 11 the skills of throwing, strik- ing, catching, kicking, running and jumping which are basic to most sports. Marathon, Mani- touwadge, Beardmore and Geraldton also par- ticipated. The from 11: rogram was a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and-consisted of. a "'Strengthalon",. old games, new games and an obstacle course. The ' strengthathon consisted of 10 stations, each with a skill which had to be * performed as quickly as possible for 45 seconds. The new games were ' described in detail by the team members. "Knock Your Socks Off' involves crawling around on your hands and knees trying to re- move your opponent's socks. Death Star's (bean bags and soft balls) had to be avoided when play- ing "Star Wars". When hit by a death star, a player must freeze and can only be saved by a Jedi Knight with a light sabre (rolled up news- paper). A Frisbee pro- vides a safe "star base'. One team must freeze the entire other team by throwing death stars to win. Triangle tag, Cookie Cecile Machine and Body surf- ing sounded very inno- vative and fun as well. The Sports Festival stresses the learning of skilis through games and is not a competition... Team members in Schreiber were chosen from a hat. The first six, chosen by age and sex became the A team and the next six children became the B team.
