Ice blocking

Tonight at P1 we did iceblocking.  For the uninitiated, iceblocking is ... well sliding around on big blocks of ice.  So for the last few weeks, Megan has had the freezer in the church shed and the one in the hall, filled with big containers of water slowly changing to ice.

These photos are not really representative of the night as they are mostly of our family and many were taken after the event while we were cleaning up.  We left the hall with the windows open and the fans running to try to dry out the floor.

 ICE BLOCKING GAMES
1 Hold the ice
Teams of 5 at one end of the hall.  Each team given a ice block.
Each member of the team must have 1 hand on the ice block.
Push the ice block up the hall, toch the wall at the far end and push it back.
Sit down to signiofy your team has done it.

 2 SIT DOWN RELAY
Teams of 5.  One person sits on the ice block.  A second person pushes.
Push down to other end of hall, turn and push back.
Change over so the sitter becomes the pusher and you have a new sitter.
Continue for 5 goes.
Team sits to signify completion.

3 STOCK CAR RACE.
Put out two charis to mark the turn around markers.  Set up teams with ice blocks.  One sitter one pusher.  On go they do two laps.
Careful of broken fingers when they crash into each other.

 4 SLIDE
Put a table against the stage to form a ramp.
Two people use their feet to stop the table slipping
Another two people hold the ice atthe top of the ramp.  The rider climbs on and 3 2 1 let go.  They slide down the ramp.
Hint - Sit as far forward as possible.

 5 CURLING
Use blocks of ice like lawn bowles.  Put out a marker or jack.  See who can get closer.
Distroys ice blocks so do last.

6 BIG PUSH
Use chalk to draw a start line about 3m from one wall of the hall.
One person sits or better still lies face down on tbe block of ice.  The rest of the team run and push but have to let go before they cross the chalk line.
