Then the girls led to their staying rooms and then boys reached their staying rooms and then we all got ready for our progress developments activities. After that we were taken to the lunch and an officer gave a short speech and finally we reached a beach side to begun our activities.
First activity
The first activity was we were separated into four groups and i was in team Charlie.There is a wood frame were hanged and 8 members have to go from one side to other side without any touching on that frame. So when one of us pass the square other members help to pass the square to him.So we learn how to work as a term through this activity.
Second activity
The second activity also an interesting to play and this time they asked 8 people from a group without the leader so totally 9 participants from each group and what they did was they gave small PVC plastic and the leader stay front and wants to put the marble into the first person's PVC when the marble touch the PVC only the next person wants to touch his PVC with the other one's. like wise the group wants to pass the marble to the boundary line. We did it nicely and finished game within 5 minutes.
Third activity
Now the Officers gave us a little bit big plastic tube. the both front and rear end were opened and also there were many holes in that tube and they asked us to fill the water by taking from sea. what we did was we asked one of our team member to remove his t-shirt and then he lay down and we kept the tube on his stomach and all we hurry to fill that tube and we all ran to sea and get the water into our mouth and in both hands and ran back and poured the water into the tube. We did our best!!!
Fourth activity
In this game they gave us bricks and each of every one in the team wants to keep the brick in their stomach and the person who in front wants to keep that brick without falling down by pushing it with his back and also the other condition was every one wants to keep their hands on the back side of the head then the group asked to move to the boundary line without fall down any bricks if any brick fall down then the team wanted to start from the beginning. We did with our great effort two times we unknownly failed follow rules but we just nailed it we did'nt made our bricks to fall down had great team work.
Fifth activity
The fifth activity was beach volley ball but a small different. we can't use our hands. So what happened was every group formed their group into three parts with 6 members for each and one of the person wants to stay the other side to catch the ball. the other five wants to stay the other side and four of them wants to hold a cloth like a rubber sheet and the other one wants to keep the volley ball onto the rubber sheet and lead the team and the team wanted to throw the ball using that cloth to the other side and the person who stand on the other side wanted to catch the ball. if it happened correctly then the team will get 1 points. every group got 15 chances to try it and we team Charlie got 7 points.also a nice activity.
Sixth activity

So its nothing to say the rules that every one know it and we first tried very very hard and we lost the first team because of over tired. but we didn't give up and able to take part in the tough of war.
