First Day at the childcare Thursday 13th of October

Today at the childcare center I was in a group with Ethan, Caitlin, Sharni and Thelma. We all participated in the activities and demonstrated to the children how to play the games and we even got involved. The activities that we decided to make the children participate in was balloon boop and tunnel ball. Balloon boop was a bit of a warm up game to get the kids up and moving around, I found that the kids enjoyed that game very much as at the childcare they dont get to play with balloons and it was something different. A disadvantage of this game was that all the kids wanted this one balloon so many were pushing their way through each other, so it became a little aggressive, but when we saw that is was starting to get a little aggressive we switched the games to tunnel ball. Tunnel ball was very good and got the children to move around and use the coordination skills. i felt like they enjoyed the game with the ball because they were all involved and all got to have a turn, but also they found to a little challenging but when the got the hang of it they really started to enjoy it. Overall i think the first day at the childcare was very good and our group and the childcare children both enjoyed it.
