12th April UG Day!

Hi Guides!:D

On 12th April, we had our long-awaited UG Day'13!!:D UG stands for Uniformed Groups, which is a category of CCA in DHS. Basically, UG Day is a day for all members of Uniformed Groups to come together and bond inter-CCA.

Before 12th April, we had a parade on 11th April, Thursday, in our respective CCA uniforms. Although it was originally meant to be in the parade square, it rained:( So we formed our contingents in the Hall instead. Despite the rain, we did the best we could and took a group photo afterwards:D

On 12th April, Friday, all UGs participated together in mass activities to promote interaction!:)

UG Day'13 had three main activities: Mass Dance, Game, and Dinner!:D

Before UG Day, all members from UG were mixed and split randomly into 'nations'. All the activities we had were done in our nations, with the exception of the Game:)

At the start of the activity, we had Ice Breakers and Mass Dance! At the parade square, we danced to 'Live While We're Young' by One Direction~:D

After the Mass Dance, we played a game which was inspired by the Korean variety show, Running Man! :D:D:D In this Game, the Year 1s were the 'Kings/Queens', the Year 2s the 'Guards', and the Year 3s the 'Rebels'.

The Year 2s of a nation were supposed to find and protect the Year 1s of another nation, while the Year 3s tried to 'kill' them. They were allowed to run around in the area around Block F and G. The objective of the game was to get as many points as possible for your nation, by 'killing' as many Year 1s and Year 2s from the nation you were pitted against.

The Kings/Queens were released into the 'arena' first, giving them time to hide and strategize. 15minutes later, the Guards were then released to find their assigned Year 1s. After another 15minutes, the Rebels were released, and chaos ensued:D

After playing the Game for 1.5 hours, we then gathered back at the parade square for another round of Mass Dance!:O while dinner was prepared. We also had a prize presentation to reward the nations who emerged at the top during the Game. Afterwards, we went into the canteen and sat accordingly to our nations to have potluck+dinner(catered finger food):)

Afterwards, we were dismissed:] Overall, UG Day was quite fun this year and we hope everyone enjoyed the activities and got to know someone else from another UG~!
