Kiwi Can
We learned how to not get distracted.Distracted means to fall out of focus. Many things can distract us like people talking or physically annoying each other. To learn about being distracted we played a game called Distraction Circle. In this game four people had to circle around the person in the middle. Each person had a thing to do. Like one person had to sing and the other had to make up a story and one had to do actions and the last person had to write a number on the person's back. The person in the middle had to remember all four things the four people did. The hardest thing I had to try and remember was the person writing the number on my back because I had to try and remember all of the things that distracted me.
