This is an “every person for themselves” type of game. There will be specific boundaries to move around. So long as you’re not holding the ball, you can run around anywhere within the boundary. The player who is holding the ball can only take up to 3 steps, then they must throw the ball. If you get hit, you sit down. If you don’t get hit you can retrieve the ball, then can only take three steps. The game goes on until there is only one player left standing.

YOUTH CLASSES CLASSES FOR ADULTS

Classes for Adults FINDING THE STORIES – KEEPING THE MEMORIES This is a six-week workshop designed to help participants capture their own memories for generations to come. This is not a traditional writing class! Instead, this fun and interactive workshop will help you experiment with a variety of easy methods to identify, save, and share the memories that are important to you – maybe a story about your favorite toy, places you traveled, or how you felt when Dr. Martin Luther King was shot?

From the Internet, space travel and TV to our first black President, marriage equality and a pandemic, our world has undergone tremendous change – and YOU have lived through it. Individual memories and stories help future generations understand the past in a way history books never could. You may have thought about documenting your own experiences but wondered how to start – and how to find the time!

Your experiences and your stories matter! Don’t let them be lost!

For more info, call (323) 848-6302, and to register, visit www.weho.org/recreation Instructor: Monica Dunahee CLASS#
