Outdoor fun in Chinese

Before the weather became too cold, students at Kalona Elementary put their chinese direction skills to the test with a game of Blindfolded freeze tag.  Everyone was paired up and tasked with guiding a student around who was blindfolded while at the same time avoiding another group who would try to tag them.
