Fun: the theme of the today as Team Extreme put Sports Day!

Hello, Bravo (Team Extreme) here, today we held our project day, which was a sports day. We held it for the Kenyan scouts and the group from the Amani Orphanage. The day consisted of us starting at 10am (Kenya time i.e. late) by splitting them into their patrols. We then walked over to the sports field across the road and started the children off with t-shirt decorating, the children really enjoyed this as they got to decorate it the way the wanted to and got really excited and started clapping when they realised they could keep them.

After this we played a couple of quick games to warm them up, these were an egg and spoon race, followed by relay races. We had a quick break before playing two games of football, which the Kenyans were really good at and were not bothered if the ball pelted them in the head/body. The first session was then over and we came back across to the scout site to have some lunch before resuming with our sports day.

At 2pm (UK time i.e. on time)  we walked back to the sports field and got everybody sorted back into their teams. Another two quick games were played, tunnel ball and cones & domes. The children picked these up very quickly, and enjoyed themselves very much. Then we had another quick break before teaching the Kenyans how to play rounders, we struggled to explain some of the rules, but adapted the game and everyone still had a really nice time and throughly enjoyed themselves. At about 3:30pm we let the Kenyan patrols teach us some of their games, we soon realised that they were similar to some of the games we played, but still had alot of fun playing them. We then walked back over to the scout site and held a mini presentation, each Kenyan was given a medal as we believe we were all winners.

Lots of love from,

Team Extreme!!!!
