Highlands Hunger Games 7: "This Ain't No Fairytale!"

This Highlands Hunger Games 7, “This Ain’t No Fairytale,” was the best Hunger Games yet! The students were reaped and posted up on the bulletin boards 2 weeks before the competition.  Students gathered around and fought to see who the “lucky” students that were chosen or “reaped” just like the actual Hunger Games. Students had the opportunity to switch with other willing students from their team in what was called Volunteer Day. When the Tributes List was finalized then the training could begin. Before you knew it, the big day approached quickly…. All of the students were very excited and nervous to see who would be this year’s Highlands Hunger Games Champions! There were Disney-themed walls placed around the battlefield for the Tributes to hide behind. In the center of the field was the Cornucopia that held the weapons and ammo. At the start of each round, students ran towards the Cornucopia in order to grab a weapon, while some stayed back and hid. You could see all the strategy and all the alliances made within just a few seconds - how exciting?!? Students were eliminated for a couple reasons: stepping out of the playing field, getting hit with a bolt or grenade, or getting their flag pulled. Adding to the excitement, parachutes were released into the field of play every few minutes and Tributes could grab them to earn even more spirit points for their team. The last round was the teacher round, the one we were all waiting for! The teachers played for their team and it was the most entertaining round yet! From all accounts, Highlands Hunger Games 7: "This Ain't No Fairytale" was the best Hunger Games yet!  Rayna, Assembly Committee
