Last semester, we had an international volunteer --- Mariela coming to Dong Guang.

She shared lots of things of her country, Costa Rica with us.

We also had two international students from Vietnam and Germany

who introduce thier coutry by playing games with us.

This semster, we're planing to invite two students' mom to school.

One of them is from Philippines. And the other one is from South Africa. 

We're planning to ask them

to introduce thier countries a bit and share some culture shocks when they moved to Taiwan.

Since last year we played TRICK OR TREAT, this year we don't do it again.

Let's play BOBBLE FOR APPLES.

FYI Apple bobble is one of the most traditional Halloween games.

-

What we need for this game?

a.) apples, duh

b.) bucket or any containers which can be filled of water
