Day Fifteen: 2nd Day at Kyangoma
We spent a 2nd day teaching at Kyangoma today. Same grade, same subjects.
The kids have breaks during the day (so basically recess), and it's pretty funny to wander around outside on the field with the kids. I ended up with a mob of them half surrounding me, looking at me expectantly. One of the kids piped up, "Kate, they want you to run". I asked what game they wanted me to run as part of, and I just got another affirmation that I was supposed to run. So I took off across the field... and the pack of kids started chasing me, screaming. I guess the game is called "Chase The Mzungu". They wore me out pretty quick.
After school, the younger kids back at the Hope Rolling Hills residence had their own invented "game": hiding in stack of tires and giggling. These kids are amazingly inventive when it comes to toys and games and finding ways to have fun. I'll try to do a post, with photos, of some of the toys I've seen the kids constructing here. They're all REALLY impressive.
