All Around the World

This weekend was our second to last Kermés- a day where the volunteers plan games for the kids at NPH. The theme of Kermés on Saturday was games from around the world. Each volunteer or group of volunteers from different countries were in charge of hosting a game for the children. The games consisted of TWISTER from the U.S.A. , to three legged races from Austria, to blowing the cotton ball (snow) to the top of the snowy mountains from Switzerland. Every group made a sign for their game and country and most volunteers got into the spirit and dressed in their countries colors--so yes Molly and I were dressed in red, white, and blue (red sox hat and all.)

Here are some pictures from the afternoon:

The USA sign for our game of Twister--big hit!

Wilson getting into the game...yet he only wanted to
put his hands and feet on the red and blue circles.

The boys loving it!

The girls-Yaime, Salome and Joseline!

Fredy, José and Brayan!

Spijkerpoepen from Holland!

The object of the game: A nail that is tied on to a string is
attached to your back with a clip. You then have to bend over
and try to get thenail into the bottle. So all in all it looks
like your pooping. HILARIOUS.

Uno...Dos...Tres....

In Germany they try and knock each other off the bench
with sticks wrapped in foam.

Even the little ones got into it.

"Blow the snow to the mountians."

Object of the game: Blow the cotton ball (snow) across
the table to the top of the mountains to win.
