No matter how old you are, playing games are important. It is mentally stimulating, keeps you engaged and keeps you psychologically fit.
There are several teachers/adults and I who are coordinating a new club called, Be The Change!
Our vision statement is:
that every child lives in a world where they feel safe, loved and celebrated
Our mission statement is:
to inspire people to Be The Change they wish to see in the world for the benefit of the planet and its people
to be the driving force in creating the school, organization or community of their dreams
We are having a blast- and so are our high school students!
We are teaching the students to enjoy “simple pleasures” in life. We’ve decided that they need to learn to play.
I think they may have missed enjoying simple “play” somewhere along the way. We played a game that involved running around when the “clue” was called.
Ha!!! I thought I remembered how to play it, but my directions were “crazy” because I didn’t know what I was doing. I do know, though, that we had a blast….and it didn’t cost a penny!
At the end of our “meeting,” a high school senior said, “I just want to say that I had a really good time!”
Priceless!! I love those kids!!!
