Week 3 update! Yes, I know it’s just a little bit late, but better late than never!
Week 3! Bocce Ball, Shotput and Football Toss.
For those of you who do not know how to play Bocce ball, volo, italian bowling, etc.. it is quite simple. This game consists of 1 small ball known as the jack or pallino, and 8 larger balls.
I spy with my little eye, a fly!
First, the jack must be thrown as it acts as a target for other bocce balls to aim for with points awarded to those with the closest ball to the jack. Taking turns, each player will throw or roll their bocce ball. They can even be tricky and try to hit other bocce balls or even the jack! Once all the balls are thrown, points are given to those who are closest to the jack. The team who reaches 12 points first wins the game!
Interesting fact: It is said that our first president, George Washington, had a bocce court in his home at Mount Vernon!
Next up, is Shot Put. Shot Put, a familiar track field event can even be played at the beach! woohoo! Shot Put may seem very simple, but it takes a lot of strength!
need some muscle to pull this off!
The players must hold the shot put under your jawbone directly under your right ear. The shot put should never come off of your neck until your release as you could be disqualified. When you are ready to release, stretch out your arm so that the shot leaves you at the longest spot, giving you time to push it forward.
Don't forget to stretch!
Last up, Football Toss. The one who can throw the football the farthest, is the winner! yaya.
That’s all for this week! Team KANSAS is still on top with a score of 174 points! Man, how do they do it?! BUNGALOW H is in second with a total of 123 points and third is team TOPDOG with 117 points. Everyone else! Ya’ll better step up your game since team KANSAS is schooling your butts.
Next up! Bowling, DDR, Pool, and Darts! Join in on the fun! Until next time…
Peace
