The Indoor Pyramid Playground

Tonight our guests tried out Egyptian modes of transportation by having wheelbarrow races and "Nile River Races." With the Nile race, kids substituted balls for boats and propelled them down the "river."




Rainy weather moved our Pyramid Playground into the Great Hall, but that didn't keep our tourists from having plenty of fun!

Thursday at the Pyramid Playground

Today our visitors to Egypt participated in a tug of war and leapfrog, a game that Egyptians called Khuzza Lawizza.

Back to the Pyramid Playground

At the Pyramid Playground, our touring families played several games to learn more about Egypt. They played "Follow the Pharoah," jumping, spinning or "walking like an Egyptian" when the Pharoah asked.
They also had a relay race with wet sponges. The sponges represented the scented cones that Egyptians would wear on their heads at elaborate feasts and celebrations. Because they were made of scented fat, as the cones got hot, the fact melted and released the scent!





Because today's lesson was about wisdom, playground visitors also had to use wisdom to untangle themselves after they all joined hands.

Out at the Pyramid Playground

Each night our tourists take a break from the Egyptian shops and head out to the Pyramid Playground. There they play games to discover more about life in ancient Egypt.

Already the children have been hunting (with hula hoops) and fishing (with watermelons), and they have turned willing volunteers into mummies!

Meanwhile, at the Village Playground...

Kids were jumping for joy tonight! This evening's playground activity consisted of several contests involving jumping and tossing and throwing—in other words, FUN!








Last night's rain caused our playground to move indoors. The change of venue didn't keep our kids from having a blast testing their archery skills.





Thanks to our volunteers' flexibility, the rain didn't keep our kids from one minute of fun!

Meanwhile, at the seaside playground...

Each night our tribes head outside for game time. Our playground leaders have all kinds of activities planned for the children.
