The Latest Rob Stephenson Trust Equipment was taken to Kenya by Josh Timms (Thanks Josh). This is what he had to say:
Nothing prepared me for the joy it gave them. Every time I took a piece of equipment out of the bag, they cheered and clapped – it was like Christmas on replay over and over again!
The first thing we did was to split into 2 teams and put on the red and blue bibs. I then explained to them how to play rounders, which was lots of fun as this was a completely new game for them! They had never played it before, and they picked up the essentials very quickly. I also included the teachers, so that they can continue to play this in the days to come.
Of course everyone knows how to play football, and we’re lucky with the space and the grass pitch at the school. When the older children were playing football, I took the younger ones and did some simple throw and catch games with the tennis balls, to improve their hand-eye co-ordination.
I also did a little bit of simple yoga and stretching with them, which was also well-received.
