Today the children did a relay game.  They had to squeeze a small hard foam ball between their thighs and walk to a bucket and drop it in without it falling to the ground.  The teachers demonstrated it first.  It’s not as easy as it looks.  Relays reinforce oral directions, agility, coordination, and large motor development.  They also teach the importance of cooperation, conforming to following rules, and winning and losing graciously.  But most of all, it’s fun and exciting.
