A news species of tree hopper has been named after Lady Gaga.The newlydiscovered treehopper species will officially be known as Kaikaia gaga. University of Illinois entomology grad student Brendan Morris was allowed toname the new species.He chose to name a new treehopper species after LadyGaga to improve awareness of this unique but relatively unknown family ofinsects. Treehoppers include some of the most spectacularly beautiful and often quitebizarre bugs on the planet. They have long fascinated biologists who areintrigued by their unusual “helmets.” Lady Gaga has yet to respond to the news. Morris hopes she’ll take it as acompliment, finding admiration for K. gaga‘s “fierce, purplish face” andstriking “‘shoulder pad’ horns.” Sourced from: https://www.kiwikidsnews.co.nz/new-insect-species-named-after-lady-gaga/

In 30 seconds say as many words that start with one letter as you can.Optional: restrict the words by category.Backwards in Time: Say the days of the weeks, or the months of the year, inbackward order as fast as you can. Repeat! If playing with a partner use a stopwatchto see who can go the fastest.Hand-Slap Reaction. Person A holds their hands palms down in front of their body.Person B holds their hands palms up under Person A’s hands. Person B tries toquickly bring their hands up to slap the other’s hands. Imaginary Traveller. Taking turns, and continuing with letters of the alphabet,imagine where you might go and what object you want to take along on your trip.

You can do simple exercises like sitting and touching your rightelbow to your left knee. Do this five times and then do left elbow to right knee.Repeat several times. Or you can do the “windmill” by standing with feetspread apart and alternate between touching your left foot with your righthand and vice versa. Repeat several times.Simon says: Grab a whanau member and play Simon Says. You must alwayssay “Simon says touch your nose”. If you don’t the other person moves thenthey are out and you win.Hot and cold: Hide an object. The only clues you can give for someone else tofind it is ‘cold’ for far and ‘hot’ for near.
