Charade with Block D

4 February 2010.

This is the first block D session of the year and I’m honored to be sharing with you guys the fun and exciting moments during the session!! We had a game of charades with the boys today but the game was improvised such that only sounds were allowed and each of us took turns to make the sounds. When I first went into the activity room, I recognized some old boys and realized that there were new faces as well due to the reshuffling of boys. Thus, time was given for the volunteers to break the ice and get to know more about one another. Haha the funny part was that when a boy was asked “what’s the volunteer’s favourite food?”, the boy gave a nanosecond quick wink and confidently answered “WESTERN FOOD!” Knowing that it was an impromptu answer, we were at all smiles hehe.

Another interesting point to note were the group names chosen which were nameless, unknown, no name and anonymous. As the game progressed, the boys seemed to be enjoying themselves as they created sounds effects to prompt the person standing in front to make more obvious sounds. Volunteers and boys blended well to enthusiastically raise up hands to make wild guesses. Unknown emerged as the winner with 13 points (maybe cos I was in the team) while anonymous stole the limelight with a terrific london bridge dance as a forfeit performance haha.

After the session ended, we head down to have supper as usual. As we chit-chat, recollections of what happened in the camp brought everyone giggling… An observation was made that when new volunteers are present the seniors aint around and vice versa lol. As a new volunteer, I wish to get the chance to meet up with more seniors haha. And hope more ppl come for supper to chill out
