Here in Honduras, the kids are on summer vacation. There are only 2 seasons here in Honduras. The rainy season is winter, and the dry season is summer. The kids just got out of school, and they will go back about mid-February. We made a weekly schedule of what they will be doing to occupy their time during the break. Recently, I have been deciding each day exactly what we will be doing.
Last night I planned several weeks of Tuesdays, art day, and Thursdays, exercise day. The next several Tuesdays we are making several different Christmas crafts. We will be making journals for them to write out their life stories, and we will be making a children's book.
On Thursdays, the children will be occupying their time with obstacle courses, relay races, and silly games. I am also trying to incorporate some self-esteem building activities.
If you have any neat craft, exercise, or self-esteem building ideas, please let me know.

pecentral.com and kinderart.com are two really good websites to look over for ideas. At the P.E. site, go to "lessons" at the top and then click "cooperative." The art site is great for seasonal projects. Let me know if you have any questions. Jenny Hefty
Can you tell us how many kids you are working with and what their ages are? I've been wondering.
