On Sep 15th we had Futuraskolan’s Olympics 2016 in the central park. The ducklings children were singing songs together with penguins groups and did also Yoga positions together with all the other groups in the preschool. Later on, we started our Olympics activity this year: “tug of war”. We prepared three ropes with different colors and lengths, and we talked about the rules of the game first. Then the children chose to play the game in pairs or in groups. The children were a bit shy at the very beginning when we did in pairs; however, after we tried to play in groups and divided them into two teams, the game became very fierce! The children participated on each side tried their best to pull the rope to themselves and the boys team finally won! We did several times later on and they just loved it. It was a great activity which they got to practice their motor skills and to cooperate in a team! At last, we also did parachute activity with all the children!
