Kiwi Can

L.I: To be an role model

Today for Kiwi Can we learnt how to be an role model. For our energiser we played Hammer. To play you have to lay your fist on each other fist. When they say "Up" the bottom fist has to go at the top. When they say "Down" the top fist goes at the bottom. When they say "Hammer" the top fist has to hit the other fist below it. For the activity we played O's and X's. To play 1 person from each team has to pick a cone and do the O sign or the X sign. To win the game you have to be 3 in a row. You either be in a vertical position or the horizontal position or diagonal position.

Kiwi Can | Role Models

Being a role model is guiding somebody into the right direction and telling them right from wrong.

 In Kiwi Can, we played an energizer called 'Hammer' and an activity called 'Knots and Crosses'. The energizer was to encourage listening to instructions. The activity was to encourage listening and following rules.

I enjoyed this weeks Kiwi Can session and learning about being a role model. I think I could improve on having a fast reaction.

When catching we had to make a W shape and catch the ball. After that the last person will have to throw to the other person on the opposite side and do the same thing back.
