It started with a flag matching game, match the country to the flag, some of them were pretty tough
We had to include some international foods
Nussecken, from Germany, shortbread with chocolate and nuts on top.
English Trifle, pound cake, whipped cream, pudding and strawberries, this was the favorite.
Italian salad
Bread rolls with cheese sauce inside from New Zealand
Pocky
And empanadas curtesy of the Andersons, there were also some fried plantains, but the first batch ended up burned, so we spared you the photos of that.
We tried a few games from other places as well
This is Down, down, down from Australia, you play catch and then have to put your body lower and lower if you miss catches. This is Rachel with her chin on the ground and Pam has her knee on the ground
Pilolo from Ghana is hiding an object and then having others look for it. We used popsicle sticks
Achi, from Africa is like tic-tac-toe but the pieces can move once you put them down.
We also did pass the parcel from England
and I can't remember the name but it like rock-scissors-paper, but it is for ant, man and elephant.
I don't remember the name of this one either, but it is from Brazil and you have to hop on one foot and use your off hand to steal a bandana stuck to everyone else's back while protecting your own. Whitney was pretty good at this one.
And we ended with a great Piñata, and all the kids had too much candy, a great day all around!!
