For our final Zoo-Mates outing at the kids' school, we had a wonderful Field Day, organized by volunteers from the Junior League. After a gray and cold week, we were all excited to run around in the bright sunshine and play a bunch of fun games!
It takes cooperation to get untangled from the Human Knot.
Everyone loves bubbles!
The wind did most of the work for us!
The day was full of SMILES!
How did a star-shaped bubble wand make a heart-shaped bubble?!
We also played some games with hula hoops. These kids know how to move!
One silly game was the Dress Up Relay Race. One player from each team got dressed in oversize clothes and raced to the end of the field and back. Then the next player had to put on the clothes and run. We laughed a lot watching our friends race around in those huge pants!
An energetic game of duck-duck-goose!
Jumping rope!
Watching the excitement from the sidelines.
We never realized that our Zoo-Mates mentees are gymnasts! They were flipping and balancing and hanging from the jungle gym!
Simon Says pat your head!
In another challenge, we tried to balance candy on a spoon while zig-zagging through a line of trees. Luckily, both winners and losers got to eat the candy at the end!
At the end of the day we decorated duffle bags and ate a snack of yummy clementines.
THANK YOU so much to our new friends from the Junior League! We loved all of the games you organized for us and were so happy to spend an energetic and sunny day together!
