God’s Instrument at Play

We had the pleasure of having Anita Lee, Special Education Teacher and Joe Yau, Physical Therapy Student teach us some VBS games and activities. AJ said that games and activities play vital roles for the overall development of children. Depending upon the age group, various activities are available to choose from. The key is to be creative and to modify as needed. For younger children, activities which give hand eye coordination are excellent. Some activities will help children solve problems by thinking of the different possibilities for a particular situation. This will help them adapt to any new situations and even real world experiences. By participating in activities with children, staff/volunteers can monitor the development of their skills and establish bonding. Games can be entertainment, educational and fun. We can’t wait to try out the new games/activities we learned with the children. Hopefully, we will be able to spark some smiles and laughter.
