August 4th!

Constant laughter was heard from our Bubbles Academy Campers today!






The day started off strong! We played with our friends in the Bubbles Camp Classroom! Mr. Andy, a new teacher at Bubbles Camp, made opening play time EXTRA fun by acting like a hungry dinosaur who chased the little toy dinosaurs away!



Once all of our camp friends had arrived, we transitioned into a high-energy opening circle. We sang all of our favorite songs fast, slow, and in some pretty silly voices. We used magic words to change our scarves into things like bubble gum, ears, toes, and even garbage!





We went outside to play games right after circle! Today it was kids' choice day, so we played Hide and Go Seek, What Time Is It Mr. Fox, Duck Duck Goose and Chase!










Then we all gathered together to drink water, wipe off our hands and MAKE VANILLA ICE CREAM!! We worked as a team to add milk, sugar, and vanilla. Then we took turns shaking our little bag of ingredients in a larger bag filled with ice and salt!





After making our ice cream, we sat down for snack so that we could rest, re-energize and enjoy the fruits of our toil. The ice cream was DELICIOUS!






We were ready for adventure after snack! So we warmed up our bodies and said the Superhero Oath:
         "I promise to help, not hurt,
          To protect everyone from harm,
          And to use my brain over my muscles."


Then went on a mission to bring King Tut's cats home! We rode in our balloon to Egypt after strengthening it with our super powers.




Then we dressed up like Pharaohs to sneak into a pyramid and look for clues about where King Tut's cats went!




We put the clues together then found the cats on the roof!
 

We brought them downstairs and put them in their home for King Tut to find!


Then, before we knew it, it was time for our closing circle. We talked about the best parts of the day.  Popular favorites were making the ice cream, finding the clues, finding the cats, and playing What Time Is It Mr. Fox! Then we sang our goodbyes and played until our grown-ups came!


Toodaloo,
Steph
