Rainy Day Activities in the Gym

Due to the rain this morning, instead of having outside time the Panda and Koala groups each had the opportunity to have some fun in the gym. They kept busy with various activities such as exploring different ways to throw, kick, and roll balls, playing the classic game of Duck Duck Goose, and testing out how fast they could run around in the big open space. In addition, they excitedly showcased some stretches and exercise moves as seen in the photos below of Theo in the table top stretch and Matteo doing a one-handed push up. Even with the larger space of the gym, some of the children still gravitated towards staying off to the side where they could draw and practice spelling their names. With all the different activities they engaged in, the children showed enthusiasm, teamwork, conflict resolution, and their continuing development of social skills overall.
