Today began another week of Kamp Kermit. This week are having everything around the theme of "Game Week". This is not only a time for the children to learn to play new games, such as, checkers, candy land, chutes & ladders, memory, twister, etc; but, it is also a time for us to work on our principles we teach here at the YMCA. You can use all four areas during these activities. We are learning about being respectful of other, how to be caring, how to be honest and how to be responsible. During the games being honest with each other and not cheating. We are respectful of others feelings and others property while playing many games this week. And we also are learning that we have to be responsible, even at such a young age. The children have already picked up on many of these characters and we hope to instill them as the summer continues.
The children have enjoyed the first day of Game Week and are excited to continue with all the activities we have planned. Today, we went swimming at the YMCA and each child truly enjoyed the time. We then returned to camp to eat lunch and have a rest time. After rest time, we were able to play more water games and board games through out the afternoon. It was SO hot outside that we added some ice to the water for our games. Ask your child what games we played-just to see if they remember or have a favorite so far this week. We ended the day with some board games that they are learning to play, as well as, singing a few songs. This week will continue with a day with inflatables, swim day with more games in the afternoon and also a full day on Friday of all the games we have played/created.
As the summer continues please check in to see what we have been up to and where we will be going. And PLEASE keep in mind that this is a learning process (blogging) for me, so I am doing what I know. Any and all feedback is welcomed. I hope you all have a Blessed Day.
