Serious stuff - KUBB!

Over the past week we have introduced an exciting new game in the playground - Kubb! Kubb is a game that may have been played a thousand years ago by the Vikings, and it is now played by people in many countries around the world, but especially in Sweden. It is also being played elsewhere in New Zealand.

It looks simple, but is VERY competitive (ask Liz!). It can be played anywhere - at the beach, on the lawn, at the park, on gravel, on a court, or even on snow! You can buy a set, or make your own and play with your family. It makes a great family present - ask any of the children who have played!

Here is what Jackson (Room 7) had to say after playing Kubb:

Kubb is a game that some people played last week. Kubb is a game when there are two teams of three people. The players get two cylinder sticks each and there are five rectangular shapes on the other side of the playing area that they have to hit (without hitting the King in the middle or you will lose automatically). Kubb is a very fun game, and remember you can sign a team up in the office to play at third break on Wednesdays and Thursdays.
