Well it's near the end of my 25th year of teaching. Our year 11's have gone, our Year 10's are on work experience and everyone else is doing exams.

Leaving me and my Department with lots of time on our hands.

You must have, by now, worked out that I take work terribly seriously and therefore would be using that time to set targets, maximise potential and facilitate change.......

but you know what they say about the Devil

So I thought I'd introduce you to soem of the prep room games...

Game one involves table tennis bats (I've just thought of Phoebe from Friends here and come over all peculiar!) Everyone has a table tennis bat, the ball is batted around the prep room like keepy uppy until someone misses the ball and has to retrieve it when every one fires elastic bands at them.
There is no winning or losing here just the sheer joy of scoring a direct hit on someones backside with an elastic band.

For game 2 you need a small member of staff and one of those wheely ICT chairs and a broom. In teams of three propel said small person on wheely chair along corridor. Person in front uses broom in the manner of curling. Object of game is to propel small person into bottom prep room the nearest team to achieving it is the winner.

Game 3. One of my managers refers to mistakes as dropping a bollock, he also constantly refers to unpicking problems. The place of the bollock is an over ripe orange which is thrown around the prep room at high speed. When the bollock is dropped then some knotted string around your neck has to be unpicked, the loser is the first person with unknotted string. Variations on this game can involve throwing and catching the bollock with one hand only. As an added bonus the bollock can burst at any time covering said player in orange juice just before they have to teach a lesson.
