THE ON-THE-GO
HIGH-OCTANE SPECIAL

 

 

        Although we won't be running all the time, and although those who prefer to be more sedentary can also enjoy it, too, this is a very active event especially popular with college students, teens, and older elementary-age children with lots of energy to spare. It's an hour of active, non-sport, everybody-wins, strategy field games that challenge everyone in the group no matter what their skill levels.

    And, if breathers are needed, we'll sit down for a few Minute Mysteries: brain games that test your powers of deduction and reasoning, and force you to question your assumptions!

    But most of the time, it's just go, go, go, go go, go, GO!

 

    For instance, it takes team work for everyone to catch the runner in Line Cross, and it certainly takes full attention for one lone individual to hold everyone at bay in Smaug's Jewels. It's one-on-one, competitive running in Interlock, and everybody working together to get untangled in Knots.

 

    They'll enjoy a wide variety of tag games, too: from Cross Tag  where you actually force It to chase you, to the ever-growing Blob, to the sheer chaos of Evereybody's It and Rock/Paper/Scissors Tag.

 

    There's also quite a number of unusual team strategy games: British Bulldog and the ever popular Go! are physical contact games. Believe it or not, breathe control is paramount in Piña and Dho-Dho-Dho. The skill to move quietly is rewarded in Indian Stick, and to move without drawing attention to yourself in the fan favorite May I Borrow Your Cat? Both acting and a split second of panic are featured in both Lemonade and in Elves, Giants, & Wizards.

 

    All in all, it's a solid hour of sheer excitement, a total blast, and loads of FUN!

 

 

    The On-the-Go High-Octane Special has been enjoyed by such diverse groups as Hampshire College in Amherst MA, the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor CT, the Vermont Youth Conservation Corps in Montpelier VT, the Pioneer Valley Regional High School in Northfield MA, the Clark School for the Deaf in Northampton MA, Teen Connection in Harleysville PA, the Flames (teen group) at the Fryeburg New Church Assembly family camp in Fryeburg ME, as well as at hundreds and hundreds of special events for college students, teens, and older school-age kids.
