I met about 90 kids and adults at the front gate and walked them to the bus that drove them to the school. (Half were there to visit the 3rd grade.) They are SO cute in their uniforms and hats!
They started off in the gym, doing Zumba. It was a good ice breaker and by the end, even Callie was moving!
Then it was lunch time.
They bring the cutest and yummiest looking lunches!
A sneak shot of Callie!
After lunch was recess. Then these awful team building exercises. With a partner, they were each given one chop stick and they had to figure out how to open a gallon zip lock bag (using only their chop sticks), remove the brown paper bag inside that and untape it and open it, which held another zip lock bag full of paper clips strung together. They were suppose to get in and unstring the paper clips. I'm pretty sure the Japanese kids had no idea what was happening, but they tried hard!
Next was making Valentine's cards.
Last was my favorite! Dodge-ball! It was awesome! The Japanese kids were hard-core about it and balls were flying. They may have been squishy balls, but those kids could hurl them like nobody's business. I was impressed.
They got everyone together and did a few ending activities and then it was over. Whew!
