A Day of fun with the kids

No school for the kids today (SUNDAY)!! Yippeee--- Good weather and lots of time to spare. So Johan and I decided to have some fun with them. We organised some games to help with team building and working together. The kids were really good and very co-operative.Makes it easier for us to work with them.
Johan is starting the day with some brain storming sessions the importance of team work and what qualities are required to work in a team. They actually participated in this little session.

Here the game begins.. hahahaha Not easy trying to get everyone to co-operate. The game was to form the letters of the Alphabet. They had to try to get everyone in the letter form and the fastest wins. Then an extra point for the nicest letter formed.
Finally managed to get everyone in position.. hands up...One of the beautiful foramtion of the letter V... VVVVVV
As you can see some are lying down, some sitting, some standing... they were also imaginative.
After a while they got the hang of it and really got into trying to make a better looking letter than the other teams..

After the alphabet game we did `All aboard´ where the teams had to try and get everyone in a space given to them. No one is left behind. We started with a big circle and made it smaller and smaller... Squeez...hanging on to each other.

A game of listening, guiding and following instructions... this was a little more challenging as they were blind folded and only guided with the voice of their partner going through some obstacle.
Around the bucket
walk towards the chair
Over the chair..
Under the rope
Then return back to base... over the rope...


Showing the strength of unity... They are trying to catch them...
Here, the task was to write something nice about the person. Something positive. We were ending our session of games.



After a good run and activities.. the kids did whatever they wanted...
baby foot...


some cup game Johan learn.. pretty interesting..
all tired out.... IT was a good day. The activities went well and the kids enjoyed it.. Soo we all had FUN.
