La Aldea Infantil: Pool Field Trip

Lauren, an intern at La Aldea Infantil, tells us about their recent field trip:


This week, the kids ended up going on a field-trip to a pool. While there, the people who are in charge put together a bunch of games and relay races for the kids to participate in before lunch and swimming.


These games included volleyball, futball and tug-of-war (in which the girls totally dominated). The relay races here trying to get as much water from one end of the line to the other through sponges. It was so much fun to watch them run around and just have fun.


After lunch, it was time for the pool. It didn't seem to matter to them, like I've come to realize that it does in America, if they don't have swimsuits. They just jump right in and start playing away. They can be in leggings or jeans, in the long run it doesn't matter to them at all.
