This program is called Triple Play Daily Challenges. This session of the program is titled “Run the Farm”. The purpose of this program is to teach the Members healthy exercise habits, practice movement skills, and teamwork. Today the Members were playing a game called “The Chicken and the Wolf”. This game is a form of tag having one Member as the wolf trying to tag all the chickens and turn them into wolves. However there are a couple farmers that can protect the chickens from the wolves. Our farmers did such a great job protecting the chickens!
