Fun & Movement
Mass Activity
Putting their balance and body coordination to the test!
A single hula hoop was placed on the ground and the children are to jump into and out of the hoop.
Then complete a set of star jump before heading towards the next station.
A mini obstacle was created using hoops and chairs.
Children were tasked to pass through the obstacle without touching the hoops!
301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 10
Some were apprehensive to go through it but after the first step, they realised that it was possible
and they continued with increased confidence!
To further challenge the Peace children, they were to go through the obstacle…
without holding on to the chairs!
Some of the Joy children attempted this too and succeeded!
301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 11
Split into 3 groups, each was to hold hands and go through an obstacle course together!
Sliding in-between the chairs…
301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 12
Stepping into each hoop…
And weaving through the chairs!
301 Upper Paya Lebar Road S(534934) Tel:6287 1209 Fax:6287 7980 Page 13
All while holding hands!
The older children learn to be more conscious and they look out for the younger ones.
