Today, because of the rain, we were unable to go to outdoor play.  We are sure that you are well aware that children need to keep active.  So, keeping children indoors for the entire school day can be difficult. Today, we played indoor beach ball volley ball.  We used a blown-up beach ball instead of a hard volleyball.  The lighter ball has a much greater hang time, making it easier for younger children to set up to hit the ball.  The children worked with a partner.  We used two shelves as the “net”.  It kept them busy and engaged for almost 30 minutes.
