A little more Karate Kid!

Bento Box Lunch

Bento is a single-portion takeout or home-packed meal common in Japan. A traditional bento consists of rice , fish or meat, and one or more pickled or cooked vegetables, usually in a box-shaped container. Our bento lunch had rice balls, fish sticks, fish eggs (grapes), pickled cucumbers, sushi and noodles (and in Japan it is polite to slurp your noodles!).

Sometimes it's just easier to use your hands!

Daniel-san Dash

I took all the famous scenes in the movie and incorporated them into a relay named after our favorite hero Daniel Larusso.


The two runners had to put on Daniels headband, run to a big pile of flip-flops and find two that matched (the little kids just grabbed the first pair they found, leaving the bigger kids tip toeing around in tiny little flip-flops!)...

Then they had to "Paint the Fence" in that precise up and down motion as instructed by Mr. Miyagi.




After painting they excercised specific muscles as they "Sand the Floor" in a circular motion.


Then it was on to everyones favorite, The Crane Pose!







After each Camper completed the gruelling Daniel-san Dash they became official

KARATE KIDS!
