Thankfully, they have reindeer games to help them with that. Mrs. Stanley’s Grade 1 class at Hullett Central Public School helped The Citizen with trying to figure out just what those games are. “I think they play tag and like it because they are friends and friends like to play tag. They are friends because they all work together to help Santa.” Carter Howson “Reindeer play games like hide and seek because they are good at it. They like it because they are good at it and they have fun.” Chanel Riley “I bet that reindeer play tag. It helps them get ready to pull Santa’s sleigh because it’s healthy and they like it because it’s fun. We’re supposed to run and play at recess because it’s fun and good for us so they probably do the same thing.” Cole Mason “Reindeer play reindeer tag where they have to slam their horns together to tag each other instead of using their hands. Moose do the same thing when they play games.” Dylan Kreuger “I think that reindeer are too busy, because they have to work hard all the time. They don’t get to play games. They have to exercise all day long and sleep all night to make sure that they can fly the sleigh on Christmas Eve.” Jamal Hendricks “The reindeer play on the ice at the North Pole. They skate so they can go faster but they aren’t allowed to fly, because that wouldn’t be fair, because they have to learn how to skate. It helps them when they have nothing to do.” Jazmin O’Handley “Reindeer always play musical chairs, but only to Christmas music. They do it outside so they get fresh air and lots of energy so they can keep playing.” Leah Boven “I think they play tag because it’s fun. It gives the reindeer exercise because Santa is big and they need a lot of energy to pull him.” Loralei Gross “The reindeer like to play Candyland like I do at home. They might like candy like I do, so they play that like I do.” Molly Bolinger “I bet they play tag because they have four legs and that makes them run very fast plus they can fly so it’s more fun that way. They play tag and freeze tag and hide and seek.” Myah Bos “I think they slide on pillows to have fun then they play pillow tag by sliding on the pillows because of all the ice they have. They have to run into one other to tag each other.” Pat Mahon “The reindeer play tag because they like to run and it helps with them exercise to pull Santa’s sleigh. It takes a lot muscles to fly all over the world.” Rachel Wilts “I think that reindeer play soccer. They only have legs so they couldn’t get a hand ball. They would play hockey, but they can’t hold on to a stick, so they play soccer.” Tysen Greidanus “I bet they play the game Guess Who? because it’s a two-person game. I play it with my mom so the reindeer probably play it just like I would if I were there.” Cheyenne Lennox-Moor Continued from page 14 reindeer play. They also like playing games with dirt bikes.” Donny Miller “I think the reindeer like to run around in circles because they are reindeer and that’s all they know how to do. They aren’t smart like dogs. All they know how to do is run around in circles together.” Makenzie Smith “I think that the reindeer like to play dodgeball because they run fast. That’s why Rudolph can run the fastest because all the reindeer hate him and try to hit him with balls. He isn’t fun.” Cameron Whitson ‘Reindeer tag’ a favourite among reindeer: students You know, the classics Reindeer are pretty active at the North Pole according to the Grade 1 class at Hullett Central Public School. The class helped The Citizen figure out just what reindeer games are referred to in the Christmas classic Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer just in time for Christmas this year.
