🎉 Spirit Week Game Setup

During Spirit Week, the games are organized into different game stations, with each group rotating through the stations. There are two ways you can organize how the games are played:

🅰️ Option 1: Class vs. Class Tournament

• Each station hosts a different game (e.g., tug of war, trivia, obstacle course).
• Each class or group rotates through the stations.
• Everyone in the class gets a chance to participate in each game.
• Classes earn points at each station based on performance.
• At the end, the class with the most total points wins Spirit Week.

🎯 Ideal for team spirit and full-class involvement.

🅱️ Option 2: Teacher vs. Class Showdown

• A teacher is placed at each station to run the game and act as the "opponent."
• Classes move from station to station and compete against the teacher in that specific game.
• You can treat each game as its own mini challenge, with no overall score, or keep track of how many games each class wins.
• This format is funny, competitive, and engaging, especially if teachers play along dramatically!

🎯 Great for laughs and boosting student-teacher relationships.
