During the carnival, each school were divided into teams of 5-6 to ensure all students will be able to Play and have Fun. With each game being played at 7 min, with many games to play, but also with sufficient rest time between each game. On the side for waiting teams, there were fringe activities with players challenging themselves to be able to throw a rugby ball accurately into a bin. Teachers present were also excited to see the game of Tag that they were at the side lines cheering their players.
Given the excellent weather, all games were completed, but most importantly all the kids had fun!
At the closing of the carnival, all students and teachers were gathered to the stands. And players were asked several questions about the names of the regional development officers and also certain rules of the game of TAG Rugby. Players with the correct answers were given a SCB Squish Rugby Ball as souvenirs.
