Last week, the ECE children of YCIS Qingdao celebrated their annual Sports Day. This was a fantastic time for the children to get out and try different movement activities that included various physical, mental, social and emotional benefits.

Physical- The children moved their bodies in different ways by jumping, running, climbing, crawling, pedaling, bending, and stretching.

Mental– The children practised discipline while following a set of rules for each activity.

Social– The children learnt about teamwork while completing the activities with their parents.

Emotional– The children built their self-esteem and confidence as words of encouragement helped them try new activities and trust their own abilities.

At the end of the activities, all the children received a medal to commemorate their successful participation in the YCIS Qingdao ECE Sports Day! What a fun and exciting time this was for all the children!
