It was a rainy day in Mt. Vernon, IL yesterday. The playground was muddy, so a dozen or so pre-schoolers went to the gym to burn off a little energy. (We were in there setting up the sound system for the evening show.)
To start with they just started running with no rhyme or reason. That’s all they needed to play.
Then they decided to play hide and seek. In a gym. Which they could only be in one half.
The “seeker” covered her eyes and started counting. The “hiders” again ran and spiraled in circles around the gym. One by one they ended up in the corner, kinda behind the edge of the folded up bleachers.
It was amazing to watch. Hide and seek in a room with no place to hide. They still ran a giggled and giggled some more.
We then interrupted the game to juggle for them. How could we not?
I think it should be a crime to be a juggler, be around 12 pre-schoolers, and not to juggle. Maybe even punishable by death.
