Family Games
Today marks the fourth day of Term 2, end of week 1, and I just want to say that in my daily timetable I have an icon for family games. I believe that in time like this we need to encourage parents not only to learn and follow our structured learning timetable but also to have time bonding with their children as well as fitness.

ReplyDeleteHi Adele, thanks for commenting on this one.
ReplyDeleteI only choose games that I think parents would be able to play at home. I don't tell them reasons behind each game because I feel like it is too much information, and I give one game for the whole week. I do the same if it is at school, we only play one game sometimes for two weeks or more.
