Summer event along Kita Nikolausweg: Engaging, Sensory-Rich Learning Experience by fit4future
On a sweltering Friday, the summer fest at AWO Kita Nikolausweg joined forces with fit4future and DAK-Gesundheit to deliver a day brimming with action, nutrition, mental fortitude, and digital literacy for hungry minds young and old.
The cheer was palpable as Milo, the electric fit4future dragon, led the way, spinning tales of adventure and interaction that had parents and kids locked in, ready for an action-packed day. Next came the fun part: trekking through a tapestry of specially crafted stations catering to the four pillars of fit4future in groups small and mighty. Every participant earned a coveted running card, levels rising as they hit each station.
Gamified Learning, Anyone?
A hands-on exploration station welcomed children, who could summon their tactile senses to guess the yummy hidden fruits or veggies in the mysterious boxes. Who knew lean-in learning could be this playful?
Up next, emotional intelligence and inner strength took center stage with a feelings dice game: kids engaged in lively discussions about their feelings, myriad emotions revealed — be it the giggles or the glimmers of profound insight. Each kiddo created their own mini feelings dice, a personal, pocket-sized companion they could call on when emotions got tricky.
Digital media received hero treatment under the "Hero Photos" theme: children unleashed their creativity by forming fabulous hero figures from playdough, snapping pictures to preserve this extraordinary day in a digital album as dear as any keepsake. Get ready to witness some digital superheroes!
The collaborative event sprinkled in some mind-muscle coordination with a movement-laden obstacle course. A blend of physical activity and cognitive challenges crafted enjoyable puzzles and laughed-out-loud moments. The healthy café, chock-full of scrumptious food donations from the genuinely supportive parents, provided a delightful midday fuel-up.
As the sun dipped below the horizon, the summer fest roared with success, all praises due to the substantial efforts of the visionaries behind the collaboration and the backing of the parents. Children, beaming with joy, embraced the precious lessons conveyed about healthy living, each receiving a well-deserved certificate at the end. Cheers to a fantastic day, indeed!
In the heart of the activity, a science-inspired sensory game ignited curiosity as children attempted to identify hidden fruits and vegetables by touch, immersing themselves in the world of nutrition. The day's agenda also included a dash of 'health-and-wellness' with a feelings dice game, empowering children to express and understand their emotions, fostering mental health. As the event concluded, each participant received a certificate, signifying their committment to a lifestyle that values physical fitness and overall well-being.
