Water Balloons

Fortunately I can pretty much do whatever I want.

You are lucky that you can do whatever you want. And I am glad that I have influenced one person to break up the monotony of teaching junior highers just sitting in a class all day .

We had a lot of fun. I took them to NTU for some table tennis and then we had a water balloon fight. The only problem was that we didn't have enough of them for a really good drenching. I gave them each 20 balloons to fill up before the fight. They all kept breaking them while trying to fill them up and only one kid was able to tie the knot, but only after messing with it for 10 minutes. I ended up having to fill them and tie most of them myself. They were all wow, you're really good at making water balloons. I said it's a skill every teenage boy should have. So I gave them their homework assignment for the weekend... Learn how to make a freaking water balloon!

I did activities with water balloons last summer. I filled a few regular balloons with just enough water to make them break with a hard throw, and I adapted a few games which emphasize tossing and catching.

Not even the old, grouchy people in the park complained.
