Waitangi day

WALT: use the structure of a recount to write about a holiday highlight.

Yesterday on Waitangi day I had a family game night at my house with my cousins Oalii, Raewen and  Rowana. On our family game night we played Heads up for heads up we had to get into 2 teams. We also played bus stop for bus stop we needed a pen and paper, the last game we tried to play was monopoly but there wasn’t enough time to play monopoly.

The first thing we did was when my cousins got to my house we played on our devices for a little bit. When we had to get off we all didn't want to so we came up with an idea that was great. The idea was that we could play on a device but it would be fun for the whole family so the first game was heads up. The way Heads up works is you pick a category and we picked the animal category then it will come up with random animals name on the screen then someone has to act out the animal on the screen.

Next when we finished that round we picked another category and it kept on going until the last round. My team was the winning team. We won 2 rounds and the other team only won one round. The next game we tried to played was Monopoly but that game took to long so we decided not to play it.The last game we played was bus stop. The first thing we did to play this game was we got a pen and paper, then we wrote on the top: Name, Country, food, animal , color, Movie and song then someone picked a letter then we all had to write a name underneath where we write name on the top. Then we had to write a country underneath where we wrote country on the top, then it kept on going until we finished writing a song. After that we had to tell everyone who was playing what we wrote for a Name starting with A and if someone got the same name as you then you will only get five points but if no one had the same name as you then you will get 10 points and it keeps going until you have said all of what you wrote. If someone finished before everyone else that was playing  they say bus stop then everyone has to stop and put the pen down then they have to say the name and there country then there food and animal then color and then there movie and last of all there song and that's what we did for Waitangi day. Overall I think Waitangi day was great and fun. I really enjoyed it and I love having having my cousins come over to my house.
