"Two Heads Are Better Than One!"

3rd and 4th Graders at BPMS this past Thursday competed in the game "Two Heads Are Better Than One!"  Students quickly found out why this was a very true statement!  Throwing, catching, teamwork and cooperation were needed for individuals and teammates to be successful in this game. 

"Throwers" threw to "Catchers" (two students holding a bucket).  If caught, the "Catchers" would take the ball out of the bucket and put it between their foreheads.  They then walk across to the other side of the gym and straddle their teams upside down trash can and place it on their.  If successfully transferred, the "Catchers" would go grab a stick (used as points) for their team.  The team with the most sticks at the end of the game was declared the winner. 

Nice job students!
