High-Water Mark

The second graders at Olivia’s school earned a pizza picnic and afternoon of water games for being second graders at Olivia’s school. (Actually I think it was for collecting box tops or can tops or something like that.) Family members were invited to dine with the kids for lunch, and many of us stuck around for the first round of games.

In this one, the two classes squared off in a race to pour water from a small cup into a plastic soda bottle while a classmate balances it on her forehead. After the water is transferred, the student pouring the water ends up as the bottle holder, and the student on the ground runs the cup back to the line to await her turn. The first class to get their bottle to overflow was declared the winner.

It looked like great fun. We’ll have to try it at Beni’s family reunion this summer.
