3/4

I never realized how hard patty cake was as a child. It was so ridiculous. Loren (the British rep.) was saying the words over the mike and then Kim and I were one pair doing it, while Markeith and Keith were the other. At first Loren started out too fast, and off rhythm (she had never actually heard or done patty cake before). Then the second time we just messed up. In the end we just laughed along with the audience.  Andre`s French game went well and this time the kids actually ran. The Chinese game was basically that one person was the Robin (it might have been another type of bird) and one person is the Chicken and everyone else are the chicks. The chicks all line up behind the chicken and then the robin tries to get past the chicken to snag a chick. It was a lot of fun but dangerous on the slick wood floors. The Russian cat and mouse game was a little confusing. There are a certain number of mice and cats (marked by a little tail) and then everyone else is in a circle. The mice are inside the circle and the cats are outside. The cats try to catch the mice and the mice try to steal the cat's tails. Cats are not allowed inside the circle.  All of the foreigners and a couple of the volunteers were the cats and the kids were all mice. I was thinking that it would be ok. No. Two seconds into the game my tail is gone and I have no idea what to do. And they were like "Go! catch the mice!" And I went to go do so, but then I saw about seven or eight kids in a group and I got scared and I just started running from them. It was a bit scary. All in all it was lots of fun. Then we went to go and man the stations for the next couple of hours while the kids played. I was so tired by the end of it.
