Program Summary:

Erich Weiss and Sababa were split up into six different color teams. When the game started the teams played freeze tag with paint. Once the game was finished we all jumped in the pool and had a pool party.

Full Description:

San Antonio BBYO meet on a Saturday night for a back to school swim party. Sababa, Erich Weiss, MITS, and AITS attended. The night started with a pizza and a salad dinner. Next the group of about sixty five were asked to change into a plain white shirt and clothes they wouldn't mind getting messy. After everyone was dressed appropriately the rules were told and the people were numbered off to make the teams.
    The rules of paint wars are there's six different equal color teams. Everyone starts around the tarp with the six different colored buckets of paint. When the game starts you stick your hand in your color bucket of paint and run around the grass trying to tag other people not on your team. Once someone is tagged they have to sit on the grass and wait for someone on their team to tag them with their color. You go around for about forty five minutes playing this game. Afterwards everyone is covered from head to toe in different color paints. After playing the game everyone jumps into the pool for a pool party. While in the pool Havdalah is being done around the pool. This was a very successful event and an even better way to begin the term.
