The kids are getting placed in two competing teams. The Gourdic Vikings and The Gourdabon Empire. They each have one Gourd ruler (in costume (pictures to come, I have to charge my camera before I can take them)) and their job is to build a fort around the Gourd to protect it.
Each team will have string, sheets, and some pillows (and whatever they bring) to build a fort for their Gourd ruler. The Gourd rulers are just, so the teams will want to protect their gourds.
After the teams build their forts, they will take turns firing cannons (fancy for throwing balls) at the other team's fort. Each time they knock over the Gourd ruler they will be allowed to place 1 checker in a connect 4 game.
Each time they have 3 in a row on the first connect 4 game, they will be awarded one new checker to place on a second connect 4 game, where they can win the whole game by connecting 4.
I know it sounds a little confusing, but these are junior highers... they'll get it. I'm super excited.
