During their first Friday night Fun Fling (church hosted event for 4th and 5th graders), we ran into some dead time, so I took my group to play "ninjas" or "secret agents" through the empty parts of the building. Now, every Sunday, my small group asks to be ninjas - regardless of the fact that there are no empty parts of the building on Sunday mornings.The culminating point, if we can find another "adult" body to go with us, is the upstairs storage room, where they get plenty of practice at putting-things-back-exactly-where-they-found-them and we get rid of the rest of the wiggles before we go back and finish small group time. If not, we still provide plenty of entertainment for the random adults wandering the halls - who dutifully pretend to not be able to see us.
Sometimes, though, the fourth grade boys think they are a little more skilled (or taller!) than they really are. Almost to a person, this week, they tried to parkour the low end of the welcome booth. Except... they all ended up with their feet on the top of said booth - which also happens to be on wheels - in the process of trying to get over. Completely hysterical to watch, but... needless to say...we had a small discussion as to which horizontal surfaces are meant for feet and which are not, even if you are a ninja. :D
