Every morning, between 10:30 and
11:00 AM, the kids at our school get to go outside for some fresh air,
exercise, and adventure! Some days, the teachers have a special game or program
planned for them, which is always fun. But some of the most fun days involve
free play. When our kiddos are let loose in the park, there's no end to the fun
they can have…
Here is a sample of their fun
outdoor activities:
Follow the leader
Wheelchairs don’t stop these
kids! They love to push and be pushed. Their Follow the Leader game lasted
from one end of the park to the other…
Jie says to Qiang: “Let’s play
follow the leader! You better hold on tight because I push fast!”
Ye says: “We’re coming next.
Thanks for the pushing, Hui & Shuang."
And three more little “leaders”
in the game bring up the rear.
Nature observers
After being in class indoors, the
kids love to connect with nature. Let's see what they've discovered…
Shang shows off his latest find…a
fragrant evergreen branch.
Ya's found a super long branch
and tries to carry it along with much determination.
Balance beam
The balance beam is quite the
hit.
Yang shows the younger ones how
it is done.
Ya watches on with interest.
Ya replies, “I found a snack in
my pocket! I think I’ll use the balance beam in a different way—for my snack
bench!”
Impromptu Meetings
The boys gather to discuss
strategy. What should we do next?
Outdoor Cuddles
It can be chilly outside this
time of year. Sometimes a little cuddle is all you need to keep you
going. Ye gets a warm hug and is ready to go again.
She’s off!
