Activity 1
Family Frue
Dai Henwood hosts New Zealand’s most loved game show; Family Feud!
Each night two families compete to win cash and prizes. If a team wins for five nights they get a new car! All they have to do is guess the most popular responses to a survey of 100 New Zealanders. It’s so much fun, you can’t help but play along at home. Let’s get our Feud on!
Activity 2
Fact 1: The Beatles' first stop in New Zealand was Wellington. Seven thousand screaming fans – nearly all young women – waited as the band touched down on 21 June 1964. One girl badly hurt her leg trying to climb a wire fence, and two others were forced through the fence because of pushing from behind.
Fact 2: 'Girls were screaming uncontrollably, quite out of their tree,' people remembered. Police used dogs to clear crowds from verandahs and other vantage points. Teenagers pushed over and damaged two police motorbikes; there was so much pushing that one of The Beatles’ cars was shunted backwards, even with the handbrake on.
Fact 3: Fans trekked back to The Beatles' hotel after the concert. The band was stuck inside as crowds gathered outside. Some kept up a late-night vigil on the hill behind the hotel. Others tried to get round the strict security; four girls strolled onto the sixth floor into the arms of Ringo Starr. His response was, ‘Now girls, no nonsense or else I’ll leave.’

ReplyDeleteKia Ora Yuktha,
I love Family Feud too! I love guessing along with the families, plus I think Dai Henwood is hilarious! Do you watch it with your family? My dad and I used to always watch The Chase together. We think it’s one of the best game shows. Just a quick reminder that when we ask you to explain what your favourite show is about, we expect you to write it in your own words, instead of copying and pasting from the internet. This is the same when we ask if you can find facts from the story about the Beatles.
For instance, you could find a few facts from one of your paragraphs.
For example in this paragraph
The Beatles' first stop in New Zealand was Wellington. Seven thousand screaming fans – nearly all young women – waited as the band touched down on 21 June 1964. One girl badly hurt her leg trying to climb a wire fence, and two others were forced through the fence because of pushing from behind.
You could find:
On 21st June 1964, 7,000 eager fans waited for the Beatles to land at Wellington Airport
Unfortunately a few girls were injured, one hurt her leg attempting to climb the wire fence and two girls were pushed by the crowd through the fence.
Did you want to find three different facts and write them in the comments. Then I can award you the full points for this activity :)
I really like your poster about Peter Snell. It isn’t crowded which makes it easy to read. Did you know he has retired from running now but he still competes competitively in sports? He competes in both orienteering and table tennis!
