The Squirrels were in a game playing mood today. We started off with Coyote-Mouse at the drop off spot. After we'd walked up the hill everyone was eager to play Red Light, Green Light until tummies started rumbling and we had a snack and read a book about Peter and Piet the Squirrel who go in search for the tree children. In the book a hawk swoops down to catch Piet so that was inspiration for our next game - Squirrel Chase. The Squirrels were looking for the nuts they'd hidden in the forest and trying to get back to their drey or home without being tagged by the hawks.
The games are helping everyone get to know each other as we all play together. This continued in free-time with the group deeply involved in elaborate imaginary story play with plenty of plot twists and turns!
