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!


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!


Split into 3 groups, each was to hold hands and go through an obstacle course together!

Sliding in-between the chairs…


Stepping into each hoop…

And weaving through the chairs!


All while holding hands!

The older children learn to be more conscious and they look out for the younger ones.

(a) “Tarzan”
