Ethan's Class Party

After Courtney had her graduation, my parents took her for the afternoon so I could help with Ethan's class party. For the past month they have been earning tickets for a "Minute to Win It" game. They earn tickets by getting 100% on spelling, taking reading tests, etc. Then they cashed the tickets in for a chance to play a game. It was hilarious! Every so often Mrs. Fishel would take a "I need a laugh break." She would give all the kids an Oreo cookie which they would put on their forehead and they had 60 seconds to get it into their mouth. This was so funny to watch.

This is the video of the game I helped with. They had a belt with a yo-yo tied to it. They tried to knock down 5 cans with the yo-yo in 60 seconds. Everyone did it really fast but they LOVED the game. Here's Ethan's attempt to play:


This video will make you a bit dizzy and it's kind of frightening to watch. It was a "Bounce the Ball Out" game where they attached a tissue box to a belt and then filled the tissue box with ping pong balls. The kids had 60 seconds to get all the ping pong balls out of the tissue box. Ethan really got into it. He played the game twice and this is the second time where he really wanted to win. I'm glad he didn't fall down and break his head open!


Here is a picture collage from his class party:

Ethan had a great teacher and a really fun class. They got to do a lot of fun things throughout the year and I am so glad he had the teacher he did!!
