The first day of J-Jam was soooo gooood! Many kids showed up excited to play some intense games.  First we split up into our teams: Maieusiophobia (fear of childbirth, and simply the best team, but then again I might be biased), Taphepediophobia (fear of being buried alive by dolls), Phagophobia (fear of being eaten), and Dutchphobia (fear of the Dutch).

Next, each team took turns swinging at the pinata.  Once it broke open, candy and balloons rained onto the carpet.  Each team had to grab balloons and pop them for points.  Phagopobia dominated at that and had three balloons.

After that, the J-Jammers played a new game called Electricity.  They had to stand in a line and once they saw that the coin the ref flipped was on heads, they had to squeeze each others hands until it got to the last person in line.  Then either Sophie or Austin would run to grab the cone off the chair.

The last game was the most competitive of all.  We played steal the bacon, a J-Jam favorite, featuring car tires, beach balls, and noodles.  Luckily no one got seriously injured.

To close us out Pastor Jeff talked to us about fears and how we shouldn’t be afraid to show people Christ in our schools.  He also mentioned that See You at the Pole was today.  I hope you guys were able to make it!

Hope to see you guys next Tuesday!  Don’t forget to wear your team colors for team spirit day, and check back tomorrow for the trivia question.  Whoever gets the answer in first gets extra points for his or her team!

Now for the points total:

First:  Phagophobia   233,000 pts

Second: Dutchphobia   229,000 pts

Third: Maieusiophobia   210,000 pts

Fourth: Taphepediophobia   205,000 pts
