Young Men's Club -5/2/08

Today was a great day. That's because I had to do very little work. It turned out that one of the other after school programs was giving a performance in the auditorium. That meant that I only had to plan activities for about 20 minutes for before the show and about 20 minutes for after. Which is especially great because Fridays are so long. Also, my buckets still had not been returned at this point. I'm really getting sick of the whole damn thing at this point. Anyway, I simply started with the same game that I always play with the bean bag. The difference was that the kids had to through it back to me. This was to avoid a big free-for-all that usually happens as well as keep the game moving. When I took them to the auditorium for the show, I made absolutely sure that they were all completely separated. There were at least 6 or 7 chairs between each kid. That worked out brilliantly. Naturally, there was always one asshole and he got the distinct pleasure of sitting right next to me. Periodically, some kids would try to sneak over to near their buddies. That's why I took a perfect position in the back row in order to see all and bring the hammer down as need be. I'd make an excellent cop. After the show it was a few rounds of Duck, Duck, Goose and then I peaced them the fuck out.
