Can you believe it is already time for school to start?
To celebrate the last week of summer we planned a Mini Olympics for the kids here at El Bichito.
We divided the activities into outdoor and academic to try and ease out of summer and back into school.
The outdoor games were a blast and the kids enjoyed discus (Frisbee) and shotput (water balloon throw) in addition to a few fun relays and races. We had pretty small numbers because it is the last week of summer but the kids that came had fun and we certainly had a blast. We played a hopping tag game, a water balloon waddle relay and a tossing name game.
After we had exhausted ourselves outside and handed out suckers as prizes to everyone we moved inside to get their brains moving. The kids were broken into teams and raced to see who could finish a puzzle fastest. In their rush they started trying to force pieces together until we told them the puzzle still had to make a picture…
The kids also loved solving math problems on the whiteboard for their team (mostly because they think it’s fun to write with whiteboard markers). Thanks to some donations we were able to get some fun prizes and treats for all the kids to finish the day. Wish us all luck as we start school this week!
