This spring when you see geese heading back north for the summer, flying along in a “V” formation you might be interested in knowing what scientists have discovered about why they fly that way. It has been learned that as each bird flaps its wings, it creates an uplift for the bird immediately following. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock adds at least 71% greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own. Basic Truth #1: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are traveling on the thrust of one another. Whenever a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of trying to go it alone and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird immediately in front. Basic Truth #2: It is easier if we stay in formation with those who are headed the same way we are going. When the lead goose gets tires, it rotates back in the wing and another goose flies point. Basic Truth #3: It pays to take turns doing hard jobs. Leadership can be shared—with people or with geese flying north. The geese honk from behind to encourage those up front to keep their speed. Basic Truth #4: We need to be careful what we say when we honk from behind. Make it positive and encouraging! Finally, when a goose gets sick, or is wounded by a gun shot and falls outs, two geese fall out of formation and follow it down to help and protect the injured goose. They stay until the goose is able to fly or s dead, and then they launch out on their own or with another formation to catch up with their group. Final Truth: If we have the sense of a goose, we will stand by each other! The Have Team Building Games...Will Travel project was funded by a grant from the California 4-H Foundation.

    81 Drinking Games – FREE E-Book We thank you for your purchase of our Beer Bong. As a token of our appreciation, we would like to provide you this free E-Book loaded with 81 drinking game ideas. This E-Book was created by some of our best researchers who traveled the web from east to west and from north to south to find and compile some of the best drinking games that will keep your party alive and going. Enjoy!! Party Like Sophia 1 of 75 Game #1: Beer Pong What you need: Ping pong table Pack of ping-pong balls Pack of 16oz plastic cups How to play: You can play beer pong in teams of one or two players. You will need to set up two formations of 10 cups on either end of the ping-pong table. The cups should form a triangle, similar to how balls are racked at the beginning of a game of pool. Fill each cup with roughly three to four ounces of beer. Each team stands on either side of the table. The goal is to toss a ping- pong ball into one of the cups on the opposing team’s side. You can toss the ball directly into a cup, and the opposing team is not permitted to try to swat the ball away. Or, for an easier shot, you can bounce the ball when you toss it, but in this scenario, the opposing team is permitted to try to swat the ball away. When a ball lands in a cup, a member of the opposing team has to drink it.

  • The Joy of Drinking Games
    Thanks for choosing Perfect Pregame! The nights of wondering what to do as you pregame are over – no more defaulting to Kings or Beer Pong just because you can't remember the rules to any other games. Here are clear and concise directions for games using balls, dice, cards, and wits. Many of these games have different variations in rules and terminology, and the versions here are by no means authoritative. Like any drinking game, they are not meant to be taken too seriously. Have a great time, and use these rules as a starting point. We encourage you to innovate and add your own twists! Drink responsibly - remember that half the fun is knowing your limits and remembering what happened during your epic nights! Table of Contents: • Ball Games: 1 • Dice Games: 7 • Card Games: 12 • Other Games: 18 Ball Games Civil War Civil War is a beer pong variant, but it's a faster paced 3v3 format. Every player has their own rack, and shoots as quickly as possible at their choice of the opposing player's cups. How it Works Two teams of three players face off, with every player having an individual rack of equal size (three, four, six, ten – whatever). There are no turns as in traditional beer pong, any player can shoot at any time. The exception is if one of your cups is made, you must drink before you can shoot again, but you can also pass the ball off to another team member while drinking. Rollbacks of any ball are allowed and don't need to be shot behind the back, but it's usually a good idea to respect the middle of the table line, or else things can get violent or messy.

  • Morphology of Drinking Games Why Drinking Games?
    Morphology of Drinking Games Why Drinking Games? Drinking games involve a specific set of rules that define when and how much alcohol a person (player) will consume. The first documented drinking game dates back to 3000 b.c. The ancient Sumerians played a game known as the Royal Game of Ur (Encyclopedia of Recreation and Leisure in America). Drinking games have become a ubiquitous part of the college social scene since the 1940s (Encyclopedia of Recreation and Leisure in America). “Drinking games (DGs) are a fixture of the college social scene with 50 to 62% of students reported having played DGs in the past month” (Borsari, 2004). Early drinking games were games of endurance and speed, lacked complexity. Participants were 3421 college students who completed online surveys. Based on participant responses, over 100 distinct drinking games were identified and defined. Varying morphology and rules (LaBrie et al.). Drinking games as Folklore? In class we defined Folklore under the guidelines of: - Irrelevance of Authorship - Shared by a folk - Unofficial form of Culture - Oral tradition - Multiple existence and variation - Transmitted by mouth Dartmouth Pong: Our folklore - Who taught you Dartmouth pong? - Who exactly created Dartmouth pong? - Does it affect our culture? - Who plays Dartmouth Pong? Variation in Pong rules across campus - No team saves (XH) - Elbow serve is a half (GDX) - Ceiling slams (differs house to house) - Different definitions of Low - No pong allowed past 9pm (Sig Nu) Data Collection ● All sources are primary, the games
