Period 4
First challenge: Have students perform their cheer then we move into English Flip Cup and English pong.
Both games will happen simultaneously. English pong involves shooting a ball across the table to the opposing teams cup and the opposing team has to read the sentence or word in the cup and remove the cup. First team to force the opposing team to move all their cups win. Flip cup is exactly as it sounds. Two teams line up alongside a table and with a domino effect, the first player has to read the sentence and flip the cup so it lands rightside up before the next player on their team can go.

5. Incentive
We will start the camp with 4 groups of 5.
Each group will start with the 5 Pokemon cards (seen on the next slide).
With each activity, the winning group gets a “special card” (examples on slide 3).
Slide 4 represents a sample battleground that they will be battling on during the last day. They are to choose 5 of their Pokemon and place them face down to battle.
Both teams simultaneously reveal their first Pokemon and they simply play rock-paper-scissors to see who goes first. First player ‘attacks’ by simply subtracting your attack power from their HP. The players take turns doing this until one Pokemon reaches an HP of zero and that Pokemon is deemed dead.
On your turn, you are allowed to use any of the special cards to help boost your power or reduce your opponents.
First team to have all 5 of their Pokemon killed loses.
