Lauren, an intern at La Aldea Infantil, tells us about a fun game with the kids:
This week we decided to teach the kids a new game. The game we decided upon was the one where you tie balloons around each person’s leg, then they have to stomp on each other’s without getting theirs stomped on and the last person who has their balloon is the winner. I have no idea what it’s called but we called it Balloon Stomp. As soon as we walked outside with the balloons, the kids went completely nuts! You would think they had never seen a balloon before in life. We tried to calm them down and tell them how to play, but they didn’t wait for us to say go, as soon as the balloons were on their ankles, they took off. Some kids got theirs stomped on right off, so we gave them another one since we had some extras.
One little girl in particular named Sofia was very smart, she climbed up the soccer goals onto the basket ball hoop and sat there with her balloon and waited till everyone was done. Haha kids here tend to climb like little monkeys. However, when the kids realized she was up there, they started to converge and climb up after her. The game didn’t end up lasting more than 15 minutes, but in the end, that didn’t really matter. All that matters is that they had fun and enjoyed themselves.
