Gym Game - Saving Shauna and Matt's Garden

We played a few rounds of our very own version of "Ant Tag" in which the taggers were nematodes. Shauna and Matt's garden has been totally overtaken by ants and it's up to the nematodes and their foamy pink proboscises (probiscui?) to tag all the little ants and paralyze them. Fortunately, if there are at least four healthy ants, they can rescue an injured ant and take him or her to recuperate in one of the peony bushes (blue mats) in the corners. This game got us all moving (and laughing)!

In the first round of our adaptation of "Ant Tag", the nematodes managed to paralyze all the little ants, except three. That wasn't enough to rescue the injured ants and return them to the peony bushes. The nematodes saved the garden!

This game is hilarious to play - and to watch!

Three paralyzed ants awaiting rescue!

Absolutely hilarious, I told you!
