Library Night Live: Why is that Phrase: “Tabling a Discussion”

• 20 minutes to brainstorm, make an outline and cast/assign production roles
• 20 minutes to create props and set dressings out of material on hand (in our case, tape, construction paper, markers, and Legos 
• 20 minutes to rehearse and film

Superfight Tournament Rules!

Hayden, (most recently seen singing to us in April's Quote of the Month post) came up with a set of Tournament Rules for the game Superfight. A debate style card game that we play at LEAST once a month at our Game On programs here at Highland:

SUPERFIGHT TOURNAMENT RULES:

1. TOURNAMENT IS PERFORMED IN TWO SINGLE ELIMINATION STYLE BRACKETS. THE WINNERS OF EACH BRACKET COMPETE IN A HEAD TO HEAD FINALE .

2. ALL STANDARD RULES OF SUPERFIGHT APPLY TO EACH MATCHUP.

3. ALL CHARACTERS MUST BE CHOSEN BEFORE ROUND ONE BEGINS.

4. ONCE ELIMINATED, ALL CONTESTANTS JOIN THE JURY THAT WILL ADVISE THE JUDGE(s).

5. THERE MUST BE AN ODD NUMBER OF UNBIASED JUDGES WHO WILL ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT WHAT THE CONTESTANTS SAY.

Quote of the Month April 2016- Hayden

Soooo Hayden Rick Rolled us at the last Teen Advisory Board Meeting when I asked them to introduce themselves to the new member. The text reads:
When introducing themselves "My name is Hayden and I'm....Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down” 

Spartan News Network- Season 2 Episode 1

Two of our Teen Advisory Board members were the anchors for the Spartan News Network (Season 2 Episode 1) back in the fall.

Their segments (singing and all) give you a pretty good idea of what our TAB meetings are like...

Great job guys!
