(9 Volt) – Wheel of misfortune:
Pax spreads out around flag circle with 10 divisions.  Each division has a different exercise and quantity written next to it.  Each member of the PAX takes a turn being the gambler.  The gambler chooses rolls a 6 sided dice.  The gambler starts on division nearest to him and will travel the number of divisions equal to their chosen number.  The rest of the PAX will travel with him while maintaining spacing between members. When the gambler arrives on the new station the entire PAX joins him in what ever exercise is written there.  The method of travel alternates after each gambler in the following order:

  1. Lunge

The Thang

Groundhog Day
* PAX moseys to the tennis court
* The short end of the court is the groundhog tunnel
* The long end of the court is the open prairie
* Each tunnel has a list of exercises
Starting at point 1 the PAX will perform the 1st exercise and then groundhog crawl to the other end of the tunnel
At the end of the tunnel the PAX will perform the exercise again and then 5 “Groundhogs” before flipping a coin to determine if they see their shadow. (Head = Shadow, Tails = No shadow)
1. PAX sees a shadow – crawl back to opposite end of tunnel, perform exercise and groundhogs again before flipping coin
2. PAX does not see shadow – run across the open prairie to the other tunnel and repeat using the exercise list for that tunnel.
* Upon arriving back at point 1 the PAX advances to next exercise on list

Words of Wisdom:


  • The groundhog (Marmota monax), also known as a woodchuck, is a rodent of the family Sciuridae, belonging to the group of large ground squirrels known as marmots
  • The groundhog is by far the largest sciurid in its geographical range
  • The groundhog is also referred to as a chuckwood-shockgroundpigwhistlepig
  • Groundhogs are well-adapted for digging, with short, powerful limbs and curved, thick claws.
  • The groundhog prefers open country and the edges of woodland, and is rarely far from a burrow entrance
  • Young groundhogs may be called chucklings
  •  Woodchuck numbers appear to have decreased in Illinois
  • When alarmed, they use a high-pitched whistle to warn the rest of the colony, hence the name “whistle-pig”
  • Mostly herbivorous, groundhogs eat primarily wild grasses and other vegetation, including berries and agricultural crops, when available.[
  • Groundhogs are one of the few species that enter into true hibernation, and often build a separate “winter burrow” for this purpose
  • Groundhogs are mostly diurnal, and are often active early in the morning or late afternoon.[
  • Usually groundhogs breed in their second year, but a small proportion may breed in their first
  • Groundhogs may be raised in captivity, but their aggressive nature can pose problems
  • The burrow is used for safety, retreat in bad weather, hibernating, sleeping, love nest, and nursery.
