Hey Cougars! Spring Arbor has their own version of the Olympics and we like to call it Arbor Games.

This year was the 26th annual games. Each year there is a different theme and this year’s was Children’s Literature. Some of the books represented included How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Everybody Poops, Where the Wild Things Are, The Jungle Book and Huckleberry Finn. There is a series of games that happens on the intramural field behind the new University Hall.

Each team is comprised of a brother floor (a floor from either Ormston, the men’s Villages or from University Hall) and a sister floor (Muffitt, the women’s Villages, Gainey or Lowell) and the Apartments, K-Houses (actual houses that students can live in on campus) and commuters are a team by themselves.

Some of the events of the games are the log roll, a milk pass, pop chug, and spinning bat run. These events don’t happen until after each team performs a skit that they choreograph to match their book.

Check out this video with a few skits and some of the events. It might make you laugh, it might make you cry, but I hope it makes you excited about coming to Spring Arbor, because who else could pull off something as amazing as Arbor Games?

Catch ya later, Cougs!
