My Girls

Yesterday my class played Red Rover for PE. (remember the last blog about RR?... I was a bit nervous) No injuries this time, but I witnessed something that was pretty funny.

After PE, we stay outside for recess. I told my class they could keep playing, but I wasn't in charge anymore since I had to watch the other classes. Some left for the playground, while a bunch still wanted to play. They mixed up the teams themselves: girls vs. boys. Immediately I heard a few boys say that they would win because boys are stronger.

Well, the girls called a name first and the boy didn't even break through. I thought, "way to show 'em, girls." Then they "caught" the 2nd one as well. The boys side ended up regaining their 2 lost teammates, and then the girls did something pretty tricky. (as adults, this may sound snotty, but these girls are not at all)

When the girls called out their next name, the boy backed up to get a good start. As he ran towards the line, all the girls ran from the game and headed to the playground. The game was over, leaving the boys thinking that they scared the girls with their strength and fast running.

Boys have a lot to learn about girls!
