For our next joint activity we are trying
something a little different: Siamese Baseball!
What you do is get a whole bunch of old T-shirts (one per player),
cut off one sleeve (a left on one and the right on the one you will sew it to), cut them
up the side and sew them together. You now have one BIG shirt that two people get inside
together. They both put their heads out the large head hole, and each person gets to stick
out one arm.
Then you play baseball as usual, but you have to do everything
together--running, batting, etc. The pitcher has to take turns pitching with one arm and
then the other, so both players participate. I suggest you use a soft rubber ball instead
of a regular baseball so no one gets hurt.
For refreshments we are going to serve each pair a big bowl of ice
cream with two spoons, and make them feed each other. I'm hoping this turns out to be a
fun activity, and will let you know how it goes. If anyone has done it before, please
email me privately and may not see a regular post) and let me know how it went.
