Black Hole in the Galaxy

So, on Monday, Lindsay and I decided to combine our 4th and 5th Grade classes to have a Dodgeball tournament! We were so excited, the kids were all hyped up and ready to go. But, like most things in life, the door to the shed broke with all of the P.E. equipment. And when I say broke, I mean the entire lock came OUT of the handle. Our maintenance man told me it was like Fort Knox the next day trying to get it open. Crazy. Sooo, we had to find other ways to entertain the kiddos for 2 hours. We drew outlines of our shadows with sidewalk chalk... making cool shapes and building shapes with two people to draw. Then we played SPUD!! It was so fun! I had never played before but Linds is pro. Aaaanyway, after playing SPUD for a while, we thought we should have a back up so when kids started to say they were tired of this game we were be ready to fire back a new game. We're standing off to the side having "teacher talk" and Joe... one of the 5th Graders, walks up to us and says, "Uh ladies, now isn't the time for talking, we're playing SPUD!!!" It was SO stinkin' funny!!!! So, during teacher talk we decided we would play "Fire in the Jungle" next. Aaaaalways a hit with the kids. As we're walking in, Joe says, "Can we make this be like uuuh Intergallactic... like Fire in the Galax.... nooo, Space A..... nooo,.... BLACK HOLE IN THE GALAXY!!!!!" We agreed. As we're explaining the game, we told the kids to make their alien group names. Linds, being the genius that she is, says, "BUT, you have to have the sound "Za" three times in your alien name!" HAHA These names were HILARIOUS!!!

So, we finish round 1 and are getting ready for round 2 of Black Hole in the Galaxy. So we tell the kids the second time they have to have the sounds, "smee", "oogle", and "orb" in the next name. These ones were my favorite!!

Smeeoogle the Second the Orb

The smeegoggle oggle orb

(I personally think they should've done smeegoggle obble orb.. but that's just me)

And the best one of the day...

Smeegabalabadoobadabagablaorboobalaba...doo

Little Theo is the "martian herder" in the middle and starts to call out the group, "smeegabalabadoobadabagablaorboobalaba...do"... *picture a cute little blonde, squinting walking towards the white board trying to read this name... meanwhile, all of the kids in the smeegabalabadoobadabagablaorboobalaba... doo group run across the gym, with out being tagged of course, and Theo turns out once he has spit out the whole name.... "Heeeey!!!" hahahahahaha I love my job.
