Grade 7 Lunch Break Activity: Rubik’s Cube Game

March 9, 2023

Spring is a beautiful season of the year, and the seventh grade had decided to hold a “Rubik’s cube excitement” as a starter for the first winds of spring. With the call to begin from the teachers, the competition began. The students were as concentrated as ever, a blur of color was what they held in their hands. With the crisp sound of plastic hitting wood, a student put down his cube. His timer stopped at an amazing 10.16 seconds!!! Applause broke from the crowd.

It was the fourth ordered cube after the third. The race ended, there was celebration from the victors, and there were the curses of regret from the others. The students left the racing area one by one, ready to put their whole mind into studying. This competition is only the pre-race, there will be half-final and final race afterwards.

Noon activities like this one can give the students a stage to show their skills, and the things they are good at, or known for. Giving a rest to the tiring study work they’ve got to do, lightening the pressure, in order to encourage them to put more attention in their studies, will hopefully increase the efficiency of their hard work.
