Happy Holidays from WACS News! With Christmas just
around the corner, I asked a few Alden High School students to participate in
the Present Unwrapping Challenge as suggested by WACS News Producer Zach
Bennett. This game succeeded in instilling Christmas spirit among the
participants. 

      The game commences when a player begins to roll the dice. Once
they roll doubles, they put on oven mitts or, in the teacher's cases,
stockings, and attempt to tear open a present. Meanwhile, the dice are passed
to the next person until someone else rolls doubles. At that time, the player
who is rapidly unwrapping the prize must stop, take off the oven mitts, and
allow the new doubles-roller to continue the challenge while the rest of the
players take turns rolling the dice. A round concludes when someone manages to
unwrap a present. 

     In addition to the students, I invited Mrs. Williams and Mr.
Edward to the TV studio and asked them to play the same game with different
prizes.

     I will admit that Christmas attire and
toilet paper may not seem all that thrilling to 
unwrap, but at least the participants had fun in the process!

     From all us here at WACS News, we hope you had a happy holiday and
a great start to the new year!
