I lost the game! and other fun traditions

One day last week, or maybe it was the week before, was national wear your camp t-shirt day-of which no one (at school) that I know participated. However there is no need to fret because yours truly-super counselor extraordinaire remembered and wore her staff shirt from last summer.

This combined with the Hillel retreat where we sang a lot of the end of session songs and an email encouraging us to apply for summer 2020, reminded me of all the little traditions from camp that I wish took place more in my daily life.

For my camp friends reading this I hope it doesn't make you too nostalgic, and for everyone else maybe this a way to bring a little bit of fun to the office or maybe the holidays.


The pineapple game
When you are out with a group of people the first one to point to the pineapple and say I win. Wins. Yep- that's the whole game. I do highly recommend it for group shopping trips as it brings a sense of adventure to what can be a drab day at the mall.

Invisible Ring
I am not really sure what to call this one but the main idea is that you have an invisible ring on your finger and you have to throw it to a friend. The more extra the toss is the more entertaining this can be. This game is usually played by staff to the amusement and confusion of campers.

I lost the game
This game was taught to me by the Cape and Island Bikers of Session 6. If you remember that you are playing the game you lost. This is a good one to play with a large group because the minute you remember, a whole wave of people lose too.
This group also played a game where you pretended to shoot each other with tranquilizer darts and you would have to lie there until someone taps you back in-I do NOT recommend this one though.

I hope everyone has a safe and warm start to their holiday season
