At Hawaiian Day at SES students had to land frisbees in hula hoops, did a Hawaiian dress up relay, played the classic tug of war, then finished with "Rolling Stones," where they rolled coconuts as close to the cones as possible.
At the Hawaiian Day celebration at SES students did a beach ball relay where they had to carry a ball around cones and the goal posts with a partner using no hands. Next they played a game of bags. Then came pass the water where students had to dump water from their glass over their head into another student's cup behind them. Then came "Flamingo Ring Toss."
A great time was had at the Hawaiian Day Good Behavior Celebration at SES today. Here you see students doing the limbo, crossing "hot lava," finding marbles in the sand with their toes, and playing musical towels.
