Most of the kids watch the TV show Friends here. If you think about it, the show really does give some insights on young American culture. Well one of the students mentioned the game Twister that they had seen on it. I decided that it would be neat to play with the kids here, so now I owe Gail a big one – she went to Wal-mart and picked up the game (can’t find it anywhere here even though it is made in China) and mailed it to me. We played it this week in class. We played boys vs boys and girls vs girls. The guys here are not hung up on appearing macho so it worked great except that they cooperate and support their classmates so well that is was against their nature to make it hard for their opponent. That made for some long turns. I made the students spin and call the commands I was laughing too hard.
For my students I put all the Twister Pictures up on the internet here …..
