WE PLAYED SIMON SAYS (OR AUNTIE SAYS), WIGGLE LIKE A WORM, SMILE, ELE FUN, MUSICAL CHAIR, AND OTHER FUN GAMES,
SOME GAMES THE KIDS THEMSELVES BROUGHT TO THE FLOOR.
IT WAS HILARIOUS.
THE KIDS DIDN'T WANT TO STOP PLAYING. BUT WE HAD TO STOP SOMETIME.
THEIR PARENTS GOT TIRED AND HAD TO GO HOME.
I didn't have to bribe them to play these fun games,
but it just added to the excitement of the games.
For a while, I was afraid that the losers would take it hard and cry,
but that wasn't the case at all.
Everybody played well and had a real great time at it.
Playing games brings out some of the unseen personalities of children,
and we discovered some of them that day.
"Wiggle like a worm till Auntie says 'Stop'.
If you don't stop right away, you're out of the game."
"Wiggle like a worm."
"Dodong, what are you doing down there?"
"Simon says...raise your left hand--"
"Put your hand over your head and rub your belly with the other hand.
Sammy.... you're out!"
"NOOOO!!"
Sammy, you're out!!
Boo Hooo!!!
Dodong: "Okay, guys, listen up. I have this really good game...and this is how it's played--"
You guessed it. Lilly won the SMILE contest.
In this game, only the designated player is allowed to smile, if anyone else is caught smiling, he's eliminated. Lilly wasn't even close to losing this game. Just look at her face.
Well, Vincent couldn't hide the smile, so he got eliminated from the game.
In this scene, Noah (in Santa hat) and parents just arrived.
He was so excited at seeing his cousins he hugged each one of them and said:
"I love you, cousin."
ELE-FUN. Butterflies (fake) fly out of the elephant's trunk and the kids try to catch them.
Whoever catches the most butterflies wins money from Auntie.
Georja, who just had a baby a few days ago, is clearly looking tired already
as she watches the kids play the musical chair. Neil, the new father, is busy with his toy.
The brothers (Sam and Dodong) battled it out for the win.
