So this friday we had buddies and our task was to teach them the chariot game and help them out throughout it all. I really like my buddy, he always talks about the shows he likes and has such a creative imagination. We bond over things like the ninja turtles, icarly, and also other things like that. We got to catch up with out buddies and what we did on spring break and my buddy did the same exact thing as me, watch tv and well play outside.
On our chariot we had my buddy and I, Ruth and her buddy, and also Gurkirat. We let the buddies take turns on being the charioteers, however I think both preferred to be the horse and steal pinnies away from the other chariots, for the start of the game I felt like i was being dragged along because they were so eager to steal pinnies. We used communications like "RUNNN" and also keeping the charioteer towards the fences of the field, I think that even though it was a fast paced game and that our team collected like 7 pinnies the whole game it was a bit hard for Ruth and I. It was hard because the buddies sometimes didn't listen or we felt so over protective of our chariot when teams came at us we wanted to go to an open spot that our buddies didn't necessarily see but we couldn't exactly drag them along, so it resulted in our pinnies being taken. I think that towards the end of the game Ruth and I had put it aside and just let our buddies do all the directing, it was still a good time.
Walking back I had asked my buddy what things we could do to keep the pinnies and take more and he suggested things like running the full circle so we can take all pinnies as we pass by.
This game helped me learn that it is sometimes difficult to control things, and that we shouldn't control things all the time, things take patience. I also think that the buddies and our class have learned teamwork, and also moving at other peoples paces rather than moving at your own speed.
Best buddy post yet. Everyone will be asked to read this.
