I don't like Green Eggs & Ham!

After enjoying a fun-filled yom meyuchad, the chanichim went to bed expecting a normal day.  The Bogrim were even set to play in a Jewish camp frisbee tournament.  But of course, more surprises ensued, and at the beginning of sports the Bogrim burst out in the chanting of "Kick them out!", signaling the start of their Bocoup (Bocoup is a combination of the words Bogrim and "coup," the French word for revolution).  The Bocoup is similar to the Madatz revolution, except instead of the Madatz the Bogrim get to run a half-day of activities for the rest of machaneh with the help of the Bonim.

The theme of the Bogrim's Bocoup was Dr. Seuss, and what better way to start off the day with a butter battle?  For lunch they had pasta and salad, and afterwards butter was strewn about!  Afterwards the kids participated in a fantastic round robin full of various games, including races and a Lorax tree hunt.  Then they moved on to a carnival that included reading Dr. Seuss stories and wet sponge toss.

Before dinner the kids had to navigate through the biggest and most elaborate maze the machaneh has ever seen.  Afterwards they partied the night away at the mesibah, where they played "Whack-a-Thing-1-&-2" and balancing food.  The kids had an amazing time, and the Bogrim had some great costumes throughout the day, as well.  Tomorrow the Bogrim will bring their ruach to the frisbee tournament that they're actually playing in (it's not a cover for a second Bocoup--no worries!).  Good luck, Bogrim!
