Welcome to the Jungle!
A Cambridge Alabang Family Day Event
The Cambridge Alabang families took a walk on the wild side this year’s Family Day! On September 20, families gathered at the Alabang Hills Village Covered Courts to play a life-size game of the popular fictional board game JUMANJI!
Families were grouped into 4 teams: the Gray Elephants, the Orange Monkeys, the Green Crocodiles, and the Red Lions. Each team had to roll the giant dice to see how many steps forward they could go. The first team to reach the centre (end) and shout, “JUMAJI!” would be the winner!
But there’s more to it! Each tile a team would land on had a mini-challenge. If the team could beat the challenge in under a minute, or score better that the other teams competing, then they would win extra steps forward! Some challenges involved push-ups, sit-ups, a shamrock shake, blind-fold bowling, and much more. It was flurry of gray, orange, green, and red as the teams all tries their very best to win!
In the end, it was the Green Crocodiles who won the game and the title of “Grand Jumanji Winner!”
Great playing, Green Crocodiles!
But don’t think the other teams went down without a fight! The Orange Monkeys took the trophy for “Best in Sportsmanship!” for their no-quit fighting spirit!
The Gray Elephants made such a thunderous cheer that they stomped their way straight to the “Best in Cheer” title!
And the Red Lions nabbed the award for “Best Mascot” with their pride of lion masks!
Aside from the big event, the students and their families still had a chance to win fun prizes by trying their skill and luck with the game booths! The Cambridge Alabang teachers set up junglethemed carnival booths such as the Waterfall Tower, Jungle Fishing, and Animal Ring Toss!
