Camp Day 5

It's FRIDAY! And while most people are happy to see the week come to a close, everyone at Bubbles Camp is sad to have to spend the next two days away from the camp-time fun.

Matthew started everyone's day with a dose of positivity by praising all of his friends for doing a great job building with Popsicle sticks and sugar cubes. For the rest of the day he continued to share with friends, invite campers to play and to help friends out when they needed it. What a great guy! Just one of many very kind and supportive friends at Bubbles Academy Camp. 

When we were done with morning open play, we went to morning circle. There we practiced our "Tudy Tott Tott" rules dance, our "More We Get Together" song, and "Blow The Balloon" scarf play (Zain's self-proclaimed favorite).

After morning circle we all made the trek through the school halls, where we acted like different animals walking and stopping, then over the Bridge of Silence, where our voices stopped working and our feet could only move by tip toeing, up to the rooftop playground to play games.

Once we got to the roof we played games like Crab Ball, a game that required us to walk around like a crab and kick balls around. We played Keep The Ball In The Circle and used team work and some big kicks to keep the ball IN THE CIRCLE!!! We also practiced some gymnastics and chase games!

After Outdoor Games, we went back inside to make some lemonade! We squeezed lemons, added sugar and water and took a small taste of our creation!

The lemonade made us hungry, so we read a story and ate some snack right after we made it! Our story was called Swimmy. It was about a brave fish who helped his fishy friends be brave. All of the campers answered the question, "how do you make a scared friend feel better?" Brooks said that he would sing to them; Joey told us a story about how he held his scared brother's hand to help him feel brave; Lila said she'd give her friend a kitty cat.

Next it was time to get moving again! We acted out the story of Max in Where The Wild Things Are!

After that, we made boats in art -- just like Max's from Where The Wild Things Are!

Then, before we knew it, it was time to go!  So we did a quick goodbye circle and went home for the much-too-long-to-be-away-from-camp weekend.

See you on Monday!
