3rd ESG-DAY

11th (or 12th) of NOVEMBER 2006

On this day, all over Europe, different YMCA Scouting and Jungschargroups will play the same game, cook the same dish and sing the same song!!

The picuture above shows Heidi, Jo and Andràs (beginning from left) from the Executive Committee, trying to hold all the cards in their hands. Hungary recieved about 30 postcard, mainly from Lithuania and Switzerland.

Next year we hope that many more international groups will participate. We are looking forward to the Romanian program for the ESG-Day 07!

Note to your timetable already now:

4^th ESG-day: 10^th (11^th) of November 2007

1. ESG-Day-Game: SLAVES

We divide the participants in two groups. We also need a leader for the game. The leader calls every participant, and asks him or her for a nickname. This nickname mustn't be known by the others, even for the teammates.

The goal of the game is to guess the nickname of the players from the other group. If it's your turn - the two groups have one possibility to guess in one turn, and everybody should have the possibility to guess - you can ask somebody from the other group, for example: John - snake. If John's nickname was snake, John becomes the slave of the participant, who asked.

You can get your teammates back from the slavery, if you can tell the nickname of participant, to whom the slave belong, and the nickname of the slave, or if there are more, all nicknames of all slaves.

The winner is that group, which has made all the others to slaves.
