Event Review, Romanian Movie Days - 2nd Edition

With a massive success, The 2nd edition of the Romanian Movie Days in Jordan was wrapped last friday, with over 170 people from different nationalities and ages attending the 1st night, which included an opening ceremony by the Romanian folkloric group "Dimitru Zamfira", and continued with the projection of 3 short romanian movies, "Duty", "A short ride" , and the Cannes 2008 winner, "Megatron".

Also, on the 2nd day, around 30 people enjoyed 2 classic romanian movies, "Padureance" and "Stefan Luchian", the attendants of the 2nd night might have been small in number, but from a pretty culturally selective class, from both the Jordanian Romanian Community, as well as Jordanians and expats living in Jordan.

Here are some photos from the opening ceremony.

- Jubilee school team
- At least Another 2 teams

Duration:
The activities are expected to take place between 17:30 and 20:00

Proposed games:
- SNEAKER LEAP Tie an old sneaker to one end of a 7-foot length of rope. Squat down and swing the sneaker in a circle at a slow but constant speed, transferring the rope from hand to hand as it goes around you. Have your child stand in one spot and jump over the sneaker when it reaches him.

- Balloon Relay: Place a balloon (not a helium one) between their backs so that they must hold it there and not let it fall to the ground (emphasize no hands!). At the sound of a whistle, the pairs must take off in this position, shuffling their way toward a finish line. If the balloon pops or drops, they must return to the starting line for a replacement. The first sandwich to cross the line wins.

- Egg Relay: Start the relay and then, as the children begin passing the eggs to the other teams, shout out "spin" or "walk like a duck." The children then have to perform this action while crossing to the other player. Switch up the actions as much as you like during play.

- Cup & plates pile:. Pile of cups and plates to stack up. If the pile is dropped, then the child must re-stack and start again from his original spot. The first team to hand off all their boxes successfully wins.

- Cups & water: Each team will be given two water bottles, one full and the other empty. Each player will receive one cup. The teams line up front to back in a row sitting on the floor. Transporting water in cups. The team with the most water in the bottle at the back of the line is the winner

- The Mummy: One person on each team will be the mummy and each team will be given 2 rolls of toilet paper. They will have 5 minutes to complete the game. The team players are to circle around the mummy and pass the toilet paper to each other while wrapping the mummy in it.

- The Frozen T-shirt: Place one nicely folded T-shirt in each bag then pour in about 2 cups of water and freeze all of them overnight. Then hand out the bagged T-shirts to each team. On "Go" the teams will have to get their T-shirts thawed out so that one person from their team can put the T-shirt on. Teams will get creative in their attempts to win. They could run the shirts underwater, put them in the microwave and even pounded the ice out of them. The first team to come back with one person in the T-shirt is the winner

- A cultural contest: to ask the participants 10 questions that they should answer correctly.
