Four kids play with a rope. They take turns jumping over it and holding the ends, as a crowd of onlookers watch. 1…2…3…4…
This isn’t kindergarten- it’s Kinder Klash, the latest ASB event where students faced off, competing in activities that they did in kindergarten. This list included jump-roping, hop-scotching, apple sauce eating, and Oreo face-surfing.
The festivities took place in the lower quad. It started with the Oreo face-surfing competition, where contestants licked half of an Oreo, put it on their forehead, and had to somehow get it in their mouth—all without using their hands.
Announcer Sarah Speigelman gave advice to the perplexed contestants, who were concentrating hard on the task before them. “The key is a lot of saliva,” she told contestants Ryan Loyland, Paris Sorci, Blaise Yokoyama and Andrew Huang.
Blaise won the round, deftly maneuvering the Oreo down his face. He utilized the rarely seen technique of the sideways eye-twitch. This unique method has some students calling him the Kobiyashi of competitive Oreo face-surfing.
Loyland won the jump rope challenge. Sorci took the apple sauce and hopscotch rounds, finishing his carton in a flash and skillfully answering math problems while hopping on one foot.
In the end, the title of Kinder King went to an exhausted and sticky-faced Yokoyama. But this won’t be the last you’ll see of him. Kinder Klash will hopefully be back soon, and Yokoyama can honorably defend his title as the King of the Playground.
