An Activity Room instructor brought his XBox 360 from home, and also brought the game "NBA 2K11" since basketball was the kids' game of choice.
We set up the projector and made a bracket-style tournament with eight teams. Each team was made up of two or three kids, and each player played a half for his team. That way, as many people as possible got a chance to play.
We had a lot of great teams chosen: the Celtics, Lakers, Heat, Thunder, Knicks, and Bulls were all well-represented.
After two rounds of exciting games, we made it to the finals: the Knicks (Antonio and Jahad) vs. the Thunder (Jhkyos and Davonte). This final game went right down to the wire, and when Carmelo Anthony missed a three-pointer at the buzzer, the Thunder took the title.
Congratulations to Davonte and Jhkyos! All of the kids loved playing, so it may be something we do again in the future.
