Mini Olympics
Class 1
I spent a very enjoyable time during the Mini-Olympics. The three
games were very interesting – shooting, badminton, and football. It was good that everyone participated
positively and everyone was delighted.
The mini-soccer game was the most fun game for the students. Everyone was excited in a mini soccer game.
There were a lot of efforts showed by everyone in preparing the Mini-Olympic
games.
I would like to thank deeply to all teachers. Thank you very much!!

Last Thursday afternoon, we had Mini-Olympic games. Every game was considered
as a tournament for every team. When we started the game, an Olympic music and
PowerPoint came out and it was very interesting. We had three games – archery, tennis and
soccer.
For the first game, we played archery. It used a toy bow and arrow.
The guys were able to show their personalities.
The second was the team tennis. In one team, there were three people
who had to play. The middle player’s wrist had to be tied down to the other 2
players with the use of the cords. Only two people used the racket. Teamwork
was important. My team player slipped up.
We had a difficulty in moving together. However, to other team members,
a newly found friendship was formed between them.
The third was soccer using mouth. Each team competed in five people.
They entered under a soccer field and their face extruded over it. They could
only use their mouth and breath to play. When played, some unconsciously stood
up so soccer field crumbled down.
The Mini Olympics was very interesting and exciting. My team name is
Spain. Spain was winner because it was funnier.

Let’s try and enjoy “Mini Olympics”!
Last winter, I participated in the GEO 21 Winter Camp. This GEO Summer
Camp is my second time to experience GEO. So, I went to GEO S1 with
expectations. Meanwhile, I’m worried about this GEO. Because this time, only a small
number of people participated and there was less time compared to the winter
camp. But, my worry was just worry. Professors and TAs tried hard for our own
sake and many students had passion about the program.
There were many activities in GEO but it was the Mini Olympics that
was retained in my memory. This game was very fun and creative! I felt the TAs’
efforts! Mini Olympics consisted of 3 games: archery, badminton, and soccer.
The games were not the real archery, badminton, and soccer. So, I worried about
knowing the rules! But TA Solsem explained the rules easily. So, I understood them
shortly and joined the fun.
Although I only joined in one of the games, I felt many things and got
many valuable memories. Before the Mini Olympics, our team members were awkward
with each other. But through the Mini Olympics, our bond became stronger. But I
still missed a few things during the event. I think there were two possible
reasons. First, my English skill and second, the games do not need a lot of
talk. Anyway, I hope that they will continue the Mini-Olympics in another GEO
camp.

It was a great time!
Last Thursday, I enjoyed the Mini-Olympics. It was a very great time. All
of us had to join three games: shooting arrows with plastic crossbows, playing
badminton with companions, and playing soccer with our mouths. I joined the
plastic crossbow and soccer games.
The crossbow game was very exciting. Though I already finished
military service, I could not hit the target exactly because the crossbow was
not good. But this reason made us to enjoy the game more. We did not have to
worry about victory or defeat.
Soccer was great too. In this game, we had to use our mouths (and breath!)
and shoot a ping-pong ball into the goal. This was very funny. We spat on each other's
faces and someone smelled like alcohol. Even this situation was little dirty,
it made us look very funny.
Mini-Olympics was a very great time. Each team competed with each other,
but victory or defeat was not important to us. This fact made me very happy. I
hope to enjoy the Mini-Olympics with my friends again.

Hot summer! Happy vacation!
And Being with GEO makes me happy.
It was on the 11th of July 2013 when we had our GEO’s team
competition. We had Mini-Olympics in class 1.
After lunch, I saw a beautiful sight – the game setting for Mini-Olympics. The games were upgraded since they better
than last winter GEO camp. As soon as I saw the materials, I said to myself “Oh
my God” and I wanted to play the game earnestly.
Then the Mini-Olympics began. There were three events – archery, group
badminton, and group soccer using the mouth.
All teams played for the amusement
I participated in the archery game and scored 10, which is considered
as the second highest among all scores.
I lost with the other games.
Even though our team (France) dropped out, I felt happy time. The Mini-Olympics was very interesting and
creative.
Lastly, I’d like to thank all the GEO staff. Thank you.
