If you ask the cloverbuds it was a day of games, food, crafts and fun. If you look harder you might find that they had a day of learning how to work together as a team, communication and group dynamics, all disguised as fun hands on learning opportunities.
We started the day with some team working games that included team relay with balloons and a creative passing game that let the youth do a little problem solving. There was a lot of fun, tons of laughs, and a few worn out giggles as we went through the really fun process.
After morning snack we got to visit with Mrs. Christy and Mrs. Janice. We recycled old Cd's into personalized photo frames and made a healthy snack of banana popsicles. Actually the snack, which was lots of fun to make, involved bananas on a stick with strawberry banana yogurt and then sprinkled with chocolate chips, sprinkles, coconut or whatever we wanted to put on them.
After lunch we had story time, and are learning all about chicken little. After that we split up into groups and worked on a special leather craft project. we had a choice of a pencil case, mouse pad, journal or change purse to make. We learned how to sew them when we put them together and then personalized our works of art with markers. After testing our yummy banana Popsicles, we worked on a wood craft project. We each got either a photo frames, puzzle or stand up characters to decorate with our own personal decorations. After we played a really neat freeze game. Tomorrow we will have a rematch to see if we can determine an ultimate winner.
