Telematches

People,

This coming Saturday (10 November 2007), we will be pitting our skills, strengths and abilities with some other Ipoh Churches. Since we are in the planning committee, EY should set the example and know the games, right? So we are posting the type of telematches that we will be playing so do take note:

Water Bucket Relay (3 min duration)

• To pass water from one bucket to another using only hands through a series of relays.
• Requires the following
• 8 people lined up in a line spaced apart by an arm length
• 1 buckets, 1 filled with water.
• The first team member will scoop water from the bucket and pass the water with his hands only to another team member and so on until the last team member will transfer the water into the designated bottle.
• The team with the most water in the bucket wins.
  

Water Balloon Relay (5 min duration)

• To pass a balloon filled with water from one person to another through a series of relays.
• Requires the following
• 30 water filled balloons and soap coated balloons
• 10 people lined up in a line spaced apart by two arms length facing the same direction
• The first team member will pick up a balloon and pass it to the next member by tossing the balloon back over his head to his next team member. The balloon is then passed on in a similar fashion to the next member until the last member of the team.
• The game ends with the complete tossing of all the 30 balloons or at the end of game time (5min)
• The team with the most intact water balloon wins. In the event of a tie, the team that completes the task in the amount of shortest time wins.
  

Blindfold Water Relay

• To filled up a bottle through a series of relays
• Requires the following
• A bottle, a bucket, ten cups and blindfolds.
• 9 people lined up in a line with the tenth person holding a bottle sitting about 50 meters apart.
• The first team member will be blindfolded and then carry a cup filled with water and heads towards the seated team member holding the bottle. The blindfolded team member will then proceed to pour the water into the bottle. After pouring the water, he will then take the place of the team member holding the bottle.
• The initial team member holding the water bottle will then rejoin the other team members waiting in line. The relay continues until all team members had poured the water blindfolded into the bottle.
• The team with the most water in the bottle wins.
• In the event of a tie, the team that completes the task in the amount of shortest time wins.

Ping Pong Tube

• To retrieve a ping pong from a UPVC pipe.
• Requires the following
• A UPVC pipe 4 feet long (1.2meter). The pipe will be poked with holes and to be placed on a chair.
• A ping pong and cups
• 8 people
• The objective is to retrieve the ping pong from the bottom of the pipe by filling up the pipe with water. The teams are not to tilt the pipe in any way. To prevent the water from flowing out, the team members can use any part of their body to close up the holes in the UPVC.
• The team which retrieves the ping pong ball first wins.
  

Water Brick Relay

• To move as a whole team from one end to another using bricks and holding cups filled with water.
• Requires the following
• 1 bucket, 10 cups and 6 bricks.
• 10 people

• The objective is to move as a team from one end to another. The start and finish line is spaced about 30 meters apart.
• Each team members will be holding a cup filled with water and standing on a brick. The whole team will then move together using the bricks with their feet not touching the ground to the finish line. Any team member that touches the ground will then be required to move back to the starting position. The team has the option of moving back to retrieve the member or to proceed on without the team member.
• At the finish line, the team members will then pour the water into a bucket.
• When the last member has finished pouring the water into the designated bottle, the first member of the second group will then start to move to the other end using the same method and filling the designated bottle at the other end.
• The team with the most water in the bucket wins.

• The first team that crosses the finish line wins.

So get your friends and let's go have a fun time. FYI, we will be playing each of the telematches twice, so everybody will get a chance. No one will be left out. If any of you have been left out, well we have a lot of water balloons left over. So we just have our own little telematch on the Team Leader :)
