 DADA 1 - Old Ruins & Forest (DADA lesson main activity)
 So, hopefully this little place would be much more exciting for the kidlets than the broom closet. Hopefully. Unless someone was allergic to the outdoors, pollen or got stung by bees. Hopefully, this would go over well.
Hopefully, he wouldn't loose anyone.
Their destination was one not common to the grounds, and which had been charmed according to the groundskeeper's approval. It had been an interesting conversation, but at last the stage was set. A series of stone ruins lay nestled among thin, fall-colored trees. A brook ran through the center of the area, and a low mist hung about the mossy forest floor. All in all, a rather serene and inviting place in the mid of afternoon, but likely to be rather unsettling once dark fell.
Hopping up on one of the ruined walls, Sabel turned and sat down, facing the class. "This, will be your playground for the remainder of the lesson." Reaching behind the wall, he pulled up a bag full of multi-colored sashes, placing it beside him. "And these are your goals."
Was this better than the broom closet?
"We are going to play a bit of hide-and-seek tag out here. What you will do, is you will disillusion yourself, or hide yourself by any of the means we discussed during class. Remember, that you can disillusion your whole being as well as your clothes. Again, you will be looking for your classmates. Or rather, these."
Picking up the bag, Sabel pulled out a few of the sashes, one for each house color. "Each of you will start out with one of these. In order to collect more of these, you must find and tag your classmates. If and when you are tagged, you must end your disillusionment, if you are in fact disillusioned, and give up one of your sashes. The receiver does not have to disillusion themselves. Keep in mind however, that if you disillusion yourself to receive the sash, you are fair game for anyone, besides the person giving you the sash, to tag and steal a sash from. Those giving up their sash are safe for five seconds after the transfer before they can be tagged again. The goal is to get as many of these sashes as possible. If you have no sashes left and you are tagged, nothing happens."
Simple enough, right? He paused, searching the faces of the students to see if it was indeed.
"So, be smart, be sneaky and be inventive. Use your environment. Think outside the box. Apply what we learned in class today. Keep yourself hidden and get yourself under cover again as soon as possible if you are tagged."
Hoping off the rock, Sabel began making his way through the students and handing out the sashes. "While inventive methods are allowed and encouraged, please refrain from using any spells that may cause injury. Try to stick with our topics today and their applications."
Once all the sashes were handed out, Sabel moved to the front of the class and draped the sash over the rock wall. "One other thing, this is a house versus house activity. So, teamwork will be important and come into play. You can transfer sashes between your teammates, but you must still find and tag them. Strategize as you will."
Stepping back, Sabel held out his hands to either side of him. "And with that, I release you!"
Game. On. ----------
OOC: Heya again all! So this is the main activity. Hopefully pretty straight forward.
Objective is to get as many sashes for your house as possible. Each student starts out with one sash, and you can obtain more by physically TAGGING another student. When tagged, the student must disillusion themselves and hand over ONE sash. The tagger does not have to disillusion themselves, but if they do, they are fair game for being tagged. The taggie is safe for 5 seconds after being tagged.
While you can post disillusioning and tagging in the same post, please keep in mind to be realistic and allow time for other people to respond. That being said, as a friendly reminder, do NOT RP the outcome of your spell or finding attempt for the student you are trying to find. You can RP the attempt of your character to find someone, but please leave it up to them whether they are found or not. Again, please be realistic 
Please make sure you title your posts with post number AND number of sashes you have
Also, minimum of three posts for this activity please
If you have any questions, please ask I'll pop in tomorrow again after work. This is the last activity, so the lesson will officially close in approximately 48 hours (by September 22 at 11:30pm GMT-6).
Most importantly, have fun! |
