After all the hard work for the Chinese New
Year event, we get to spend time together and strengthen the bond between
members by having a Games Day.
The purpose of Game day is for everyone to have
fun and relax. The games that we played this time were charades, Telepathy game,
dodge ball, werewolves. Lastly, the most popular game: Captain Ball. Do you
know why captain ball is so popular? Just look at the pictures and you will
find out! Everyone gets to work together and run around to pass the ball to
their team mates to score as many as possible.
We split into 2 teams for Captain Ball and the
members compete fiercely over 3 rounds. At the end of the game, team 2 won by a
close margin. This game taught us the importance of communication and teamwork,
that every member plays a key role.

TQ you got long hands ah!
So, we started off with charades that has three
different themes, where the representative in each group has to act out. The
three themes were: Funny Actions, Movie and Animals. The team will have to
guess as many words as possible in one minute. Each representative spent a lot
of effort thinking on the actions to act out for their team members to guess.
This helps students to explore their creativity as they need to come up with
moves/actions that resemble the word. Students also need to work as a team
because mutual understanding is the key factor in winning this game.
For the Second Game we played was Telepathy game.
There were 1 set of question and 1 set of answer distributed and each team will
have 2 representatives to play this game. They will first put on the headphones
with music on, and try to match the answer to the question. The twist to this
game is that students cannot hear what the partner is talking about. They were
given 1minute to match as many answers as possible. This game is to test the
chemistry between the pair of representative. The opposite team made lots of
noises so that they would not be able to hear one another during the game. The
purpose of this game is basically for students to relax and laugh at each
other, where you get to hear students that are usually soft-spoken screaming at
the top of their lungs.
The next game was Dodge Ball. It’s a new game
that is introduced by the OICs and we received positive support from the
students. The objective of the game is basically to hit the opposite team with
the balls and to dodge the incoming balls. This game trains us to be aware of
the surroundings as they have to dodge in time. The 2 teams were lacking in
strategies as they simply threw the ball at each other randomly. I felt that
the purpose of this game is about strategy, planning your next moves so that
you can achieve your target easily.
OIC gave instructions during the dodge ball.
The students were eager to whack each other with the balls and “attacked” the
OIC sometimes.

As it started to drizzle, we went back to the
project room for our very last game: Werewolf and the civilian. This is one of
the games that EMRS enjoyed. It was a game of deception. Everyone needs to guess
who were the werewolves and debate among us to protect ourselves from getting
killed. There was a role of the healer, who can be the angel by healing
innocent civilians who got killed or be a selfish devil who keeps on healing
themselves. This is the only chance to see who were cunning and selfish.
After all the games, finally everyone get their
prizes!! The overall in charge bought several snacks to reward the winning
team.
Prizes bought by the OIC!
At the end of the day, everyone enjoyed themselves
and we were closer with one another! Games day also serves as a breather for
students to relax before embarking on a second journey to Changi City Point. We
hope that everybody enjoy themselves as we did, and we thank the students for
participating in this event.
