  closer bonds.)

The “Goose” will go around the circle, as he pass one cadet he will point at the cadet say either “Duck” or “Goose”. “Duck… Duck… Goose!” The moment he say “Goose”, the person he points at will have to run a round and sit down in order to prevent his place from being captured by the “Goose” who will also be running 1 round to capture the “Duck’s” place. Failure to outrun the “Goose” will result to his/her place being captured by the “Goose” where he/she will become the next “Goose”. However if the “Duck” successfully outrun the “Goose” and sit down before the “Goose” does, the “Goose” will have to continue until he is able to secure a place from the “Duck”. The game ends when the time limit of 9 minutes is over.
• I Went To the Supermarket (Trains the students’ memory, and also their creativity.)

Instructions: The class will sit in a circle. Class ICs will appoint a first person and he/she will say “I went to the supermarket and bought an apple (or any other object you can buy in a supermarket that begins with an A)”. The next person repeats the sentence including the “A” word and adds a “B” word. Each successive person recites the sentence with all the alphabet items, adding one of his/her own item. For example for the sixth person, “I went to the supermarket and bought an Apple, Banana, Carrot, Dog food, Envelopes, Frozen Fish”.
