1) activity-obstacle course
There will be activities such as river crossing , throwing bean bag into the target , running and retriving of items from one area to another and more short simple games .
It will be fun as it gives the new sec 1s a chance to bond and communicate with one another.
It is better as it helps them identify their strengths and weaknesses and help one another overcome those weaknesses through teamwork and placing trust on one another to get through the whole obstacle course . We would set up the games in the sports hall as there is more space to fill out the whole sports hall with obstacles and enough time to prepare the set up . we wont do it in the hall as there is not enough time due having morning assembly in the hall .

Go through every station in summary yet clear and also show a quick example of what to do . Place at least one Councillor per station in case there are those who don't understand what to do .

2) Splat
This will give the sec 1s a chance to
rember their classmates names .
It is better as it makes them more eager to get to know each others name and helps recognises the classmates face easily .
We can do it in the hall as there is alot of space for different groups to spread out and play amongst themselves .

Demonstration with Explanation by acting out with the Councillors in charge of the game .

why we chose this game:

trains the student’s attentiveness and listening skills

how to play:

Choose one student as “Simon.” The other children gather around Simon, who gives instructions by saying, “Simon says…” telling the students to perform a physical action. For example, "Simon says touch your nose," "Simon says shake like a leaf." Each student must perform the action. If the person does not say “Simon says…” and for example just say “touch your head” without saying “simon says” and the student touches their head, they’re out!

Game:
Dog n bone
-The class will split into 2 and number themselves. E.g. numbers 1-16 for both sides, if class is not in equal numbers, e.g. 1-15, 1-16.
The number that is called out (e.g. 1 and 15 or 1 and 1) will run forward and take the shuttlecock from the hula hoop.

The person with the shuttlecock will chased and the other person without the shuttlecock will be the chaser.

If the person with the shuttlecock manages to run back to their spot with the shuttlecock, the team wins a point. If they are tagged by the person without the shuttlecock, the other team wins a point.

-Why do you think it will be fun?
It builds anticipation between all members of both teams as they do not know who will be next to help them score a point.

- How is it better compared to the previous games?

It has a element of mystery and build up anticipation.

-How are you gonna set the game up and where?

We will have 1 hula hoop and 1 shuttlecock in the middle of both teams. Both teams will be in a line facing each other. This can be held in any big open spaces like sports hall, amphitheatre or even the AVA.

- How are you going to explain to them to ensure that the sec 1s are sure they know what to do?

We will give a explaination and demonstrate using the first few people in the line. We will make them act out the game so that they themselves are also clear and can help others in the line if needed.

Dodge ball competition against classes

-Why do you think it will be fun?
The sec ones will enjoy going against other classes and throwing balls at each other. It does not require awkward introductions, only dodging and throwing balls and they are most likely already know the rules.

- How is it better compared to the previous games?
It is a physical game because of a non Covid year. The sec 1s can run around instead of sitting and listening to us talk

-How are you gonna set the game up and where?
The school hall and use foam balls so no one gets injured . There will be plenty of space for them to move around

- How are you going to explain to them to ensure that the sec 1s are sure they know what to do?

- Bridge building - its fun because its a classic game which requires you to think deeply and its also a competitive game which will interest all the students to participate - We will give the students random items such as books, pencils, shoelace etc
- curtain dropping - students will be divided in two grps - the students will get to guess the person standing on the opposite side of the curtain - this will make sure that everyone knows each others name
- Duck & goose - students to be seated in circle- chose student will go around the circle and choose the goose- the chosen goose to chase the duck and sit in their og position before the duck — make sure the duck says the goose’s name - this will ensure that everyone knows each others name

Its better than 2022 one because its tests your critical thinking and creativity. Its more fun as it is more physical (includes running etc)
It will be held in either the hall or their respective classrooms
Ask for their attention first then talk in loud voice - show demo to make sure that everyone understands

Splat:
Why? because we would be able to learn others name in a fun and enjoyable way.
Instructions:
1. group of students (exco will decide) will gather in a circle
2.AIC will stand in middle of circle and point to a random student to squat/ sit down
3. Students standing on both sides of the person squatting/ sitting down will need to say each others name. Fastest person who says the name wins.

It's a group game where you paste a word/name on your forehead...
You can see everyone else's word, except your own.
The objective of the game is to not say the word on your forehead, within the time limit, and try to make others say the word and if you eliminate them you will get 1 point. If you can guess what's the forbidden word on your head after the times up you'll get another point. If you say your forbidden word within the time limit your out.
This can be a team bonding game.

1. It involves a lot of communication within group and is exciting as it will allows you to compete with one another as a result bond with one another
2.  It does not involves a lot of physical movement , more of communication
3. Mbox , prepare a few sets of different variety of words and affordable headbands to put the word.
4. Explain to them once and ask if they understand, most likely they would not dare to speak up so we would demo for them so they can understand.

- Late for class due to morning duties
We can start our duty faster
- SCs skipping duty without valid reasons/being late for duty
We can get councillors to write a reflection to the teacher on why they were late for duty. If the same person skips duty for a number of time, we could suspend them from doing duties etc so that we can show that teachers are serious about it.
- Sec 1 SCs being unsure of duty requirements
we can try out the duty with the sec 1s or brief them about what to do
- Difficulty ensuring equal load in allocation of duties
do a survey once a month if any sc member have any claims or feedback

# data[].attributes.body
People for recess duty are late because they are released late from class. I was thinking we should not have the first part of the recess duty as students will not want to leave the canteen for the first 15 mins and this gives time for the councils to eat a quick meal and go for duty. This allows us to have more councils for recess duty to prevent students from taking sweet drink out of the canteen.

# data[].attributes.body
1) walk faster/ keep teacher informed
2) remind them that they are councillors and they should be responsible/ keep track of people skipping duty and have a limit of slipping 3 times, after the 3, they would have to write a reflection
3) ask their seniors if unsure
4) change duty roster every week and make sure everyone gets a chance, as well as ensure that no one has to consistently do duty every week so it would look more fair for the rest of them

# data[].attributes.body
-make a quota for how many duties can be assigned to each councillor
-remove the first half of duty since students are sometimes late due to dismissal, and students don't usually leave the canteen in the first half of recess
-increase the number of councillors for each recess duty (more than 3 per recess period)

# data[].attributes.body
Walk faster to class.
Stay back school to do reflection.
Make a clearer example of how we are suppose to do the duty to reassure and ease their mind .
Recheck the duty list and council name list to ensure that everyone has a part to play and  has equal load of work.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Sec threes were not prepared to conduct games
- Sec threes can have a script to conduct the activity
- ask sec threes to send pdfs of slides to the council grpc before the activity starts to prepare the other sc for the activities (so each sc can self refer)

2. Not everyone in the group was clear on what to do during the activities
-They should ask questions if they are unsure
-ics should demonstrate how the activity will go or repeat instructions

3.Some sc not being cooperative during mass dance
-Sc should ask councillors to do “one silent clap” to capture their attention
- each senior Sc can be paired up with a junior Sc so they can work with each other

# data[].attributes.body
1) use better quality ballon/ don't pump too much air
2) plan at least 2weeks in advance
3) have more rehersals until everything is organised
4) be responsible and check the time every now and then/ appoint a time manager
5) brief them earlier/ appoint group leaders in each category
6) hype them up backstage/ choose a very confident person as a emcee

# data[].attributes.body
Ensure that people are calm before going on stage .
Councillor involved in the investiture are to take initiative to ask others around who are absent and ask others to step in and help out with the situation , take over their role .
Make up a list of what to bring at an earlier timing .
Prepare the skirts earlier , count and ensure who needs it .
Work with president first before making up the script .

# data[].attributes.body
Can plan 1 month in advance so it won't be so rushed

Instead of just asking the excos do it alone,every SC can help with the preparations

They can search up inspirational for the gifts online so that they will have some ideas on what to do .can also add notes of encouragement in the gifts.

# data[].attributes.body
For recess duty,I think the SC can inform their subject teacher about it so they can let them go on time

Can also inform the other councils that they will be late so someone can take over

For those who are skipping,they can assign someone to check whose on duty and inform them through their group chat.

The person assigning the duties can ensure that every SC is doing atleast one duty

- the tour around the school and activities had to be rushed as there was not enough time for each activities.

# data[].attributes.body
- Balloons popped while being tied up and when it was blown up.
- Gift packing was very last minute due to the lack of people
- It was messy backstage during rehearsal because performers backstage didn’t understand the drill yet.
- Ensuring the timeline given is being strictly followed, making sure we were on time
- Keeping students backstage organised and ensuring they did not disappear and leave unannounced
- Ensuring Emcees had enthusiasm and energy

# data[].attributes.body
- Councillors and PSLs were not synchronised when walking on stage and EXCOs were not synchronised when bowing
- Was informed about buying heels and stockings last minute
- Some EXCOs were absent during the rehearsal so they did not know the order of the event so rehearsal was messy.
- EXCOs had to borrow blazers and skirts but some sizes were not available so the teachers had to buy more skirts.
- Emcees had to change and adjust their scripts according to the President’s speech.

-Why do you think it will be fun?
Everyone will be involved and would want to work together to jump as long as they can

- How is it better compared to the previous games?
It is a unique take on jump rope which encourages teamwork
Everyone will be motivated to do their best in keeping up the rhythm
There is satisfaction in beating their best try

-How are you gonna set the game up and where?
In the Hall as there's space for the rope and people to stand in a line
We will get the long jump rope before hand from a toy shop or online

- How are you going to explain to them to ensure that the sec 1s are sure they know what to do?

It starts with 1 person jump roping, and 1 person can join in each time when they are ready. The 2 people who are swinging the ropes have to coordinate and work together to swing with the right rhythm. Only 1 person can join the jump rope at a time, the goal is for as many people (max ~6) (we have to try out first) to join the jump rope and maintain for at least 15 seconds.

Students will take turns to jump rope.

The rope swingers are student councils.

People who are not jump roping should cheer on their friends.

Student councils in charge of the class will do a demo. Student councilors can join the class jump rope if there's time.
