The Student Leadership Association will sponsor a Game Day, on Wednesday Nov. 2 at Sinclair Community College.
The goal is to provide students, faculty and staff the chance to mingle and unwind after what may be a stressful day, according to Jasmine Rogers, student event coordinator for SLA.
The event will take place in the stage area of Building 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The games chosen for the event are musical chairs, the “Michael Jackson the Experience” video game on the Nintendo Wii console, and three rounds from the television show “Minute to Win It,” according to Rogers.
This Game Day event is scheduled for once a month throughout Winter Quarter, the dates for the upcoming Game Day events will be forthcoming, said Rogers.
“(The) main objective is to have fun,” said Rogers. “This event is intended to be an opportunity to get to know other people and network.”
Faculty and staff are invited to take part in the event with the students in order to socialize, according to Rogers.
“We want people to come down and visit Building 8,” Rogers said.
The Game Day event is intended to give students a chance to visit the same building that the Physical Activity Center is in. It is also a way to demonstrate what SLA offers, according to Rogers.
The three rounds of “Minute to Win It” set to be played are Spoon Frog, “Ker Plink or Plunk” and “This Blows,” according to Rogers. The main objective, of course, is to complete each round in a minute or less, according to the official “Minute to Win It” website.
The website describes the games as follows: Spoon Frog involves using one spoon to propel another spoon into a cup; Ker Plink or Plunk involves bouncing 3 marbles into three bowls which are within a larger water-filled bowl; and This Blows involves blowing up a balloon and then letting the air out of the balloon in order to blow cups off of a table.
“(This event) gives you a chance to be a kid again, to take your mind off of homework and exams,” said Rogers. “It is a way to help relieve the stress experienced by students during the quarter.”
