The Great Watermelon Drop

g

Five students were paired up with five teachers for the Great Watermelon Drop.

The five students were Myron, Dameon, D.J., Dana, and Jenny. The five teachers were Mrs. Jewls, Miss Worm, Miss Mush, Mr. Kidswatter, and Louis, the Yard Teacher.

g

Rules:

It worked like this:

• A watermelon was placed by a window in each classroom.

• The first student had to push the watermelon out the window on the first floor, and his or her teacher/partner had to try and catch it.

g

• The second student then pushed a watermelon out of the second story window, and that student’s teacher/partner had to try and catch it.

• Then the third student pushed a watermelon out of the third story window, and so on.

• If all five watermelons were caught, then the student from the first floor would move up to the sixth floor, and push that watermelon out the window. And so on.

• If a teacher failed to catch a falling watermelon, then that teacher, and his or her student/partner were OUT. But the next student still had to push the watermelon from the next highest floor. For example: If a student pushed a watermelon out the tenth story window, and the teacher missed it, they would be OUT, and the next student would push a watermelon out of the eleventh story window.
