NorthPointe Back to School Party

Today I went to NorthPointe's Back to School party, where I got to know some of the my future classmates better. To start, everyone was directed to the gymnasium, where we just randomly ran around and talked. There was food, and very yummy brownies.  After about 10 minutes, we went outside and played a couple games.

Banana Pass: Everyone is organized into 3 teams, and are instructed to lie down with one person's feet touching another's head. Then, the person in front uses their feet to pick up a banana and bends their legs backwards over their head to pass the banana to the next in line. That person then had to do the same. When the banana reached the last person, they had to eat it.
-Gross. Considering the bananas were already BLACK, I would be utterly repulsed to have to eat it. Our teams banana was OPENING AT THE PEEL, and someone actually ATE IT. It looked so disgusting at the end.
Dragon Tail Tag: There are teams of 2-8 kids in a line. They all link arms, and one end is the head of the dragon, and one is the tail. The tail gets a "tail" of either a flag or anything that you can stick through a belt loop with about 7 inches still hanging out. All the dragons run around and the head (and ONLY the head) tries to pull off the tail of the other dragons. If a dragon's tail is pulled off, that dragon must join  the end of the victorious dragon. If the tail of a dragon (or any part of the dragon other than the head) gets separated from the head, it must NOT MOVE until the head comes back and reconnects. The game is over when all the dragons are gone except for one.
-No comments.
That was pretty much it, except for 10 more minutes of running around randomly and talking.
