Reflection: When I did this, I was really nervous because I didn’t knew when my teacher would come to the our station and film me and my partner. Before I presented, I was hoping that the people playing the game would understand. I was nervous doing my own but it was fun doing other people’s cultural game. It was fun to learn new games too. I think me and my partner, Kodai, did good at making people understand how to play this game. I think we didn’t did good at teaching them how to pass the ball to each other. Overall it was really fun.
