Sports Week

This week was Sports Week at Monarch Kids. We had a lot of fun exploring this theme through games, arts and crafts, books, and actually playing lots of sports!

One of their favorites games is called "What Time is it Mr. Referee?" In this game one person is at one end of the field (this is the referee) and the others are at the other end. The group yells out, "What time is it Mr. Referee?" and he/she responds with a certain time, like "It's 2:00". The kids then take 2 steps closer to the referee. They keep taking a certain number of steps towards the referee but whenever the referee says, "It's midnight!" then he/she turns around and runs after the other kids. They loved it! And we've altered this game many times to Mr. Dragon, Mr. Dinosaur, or whatever theme we're focused on. Super fun!


I posted pictures of different sports all over the walls. I would mention a sport or a piece of equipment and the kids would look around to find that sport. We had volleyball, basketball, baseball, tennis, soccer and biking. Fun!


Here are some of the kids from the week. They loved wearing their sports attire each day. This theme was such a blast!


This was one of the math activities we did this week. I had the kids help me order the baseballs from #1 to #10. We did a lot of sorting games with all of the sports balls we have here.


This is just a fun shot from the week. This girl is super creative! Each day she combines the outdoor toys and creates a new invention. So fun!

Thanks for reading - have a great weekend!
