The kids were studying about Australia this week and had an assignment to research traditional Australian games. This website has rules for lots of fun games you can play as a family: http://www.ausport.gov.au/participating/indigenous/games/traditional_games/individual_games.
Christian chose a wrestling game and Faith chose a ball game to which we sang a song. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time! The wrestling game is called tingalpa, played mostly in south Queensland.

Are you sure these fun games are from Australia--the wrestling looks a lot like "bompers". Maybe they got that idea from you all. I was telling Nancy that the weight classes seem a little off, but everybody looks like they're having so much fun. Notice your Mom is not in on the games. Mom

Wrestling? They may have used to call it wrestling, but that is a ruck for sure. Kids, in Australia they call that rugby now.
