RAISING POSITIVE AND HAPPY KIDS

It was a fun-filled hour for parents, children and the spectators at Orchids-The International School on 18.2.2012. Some exciting games were arranged for parents (couples exclusively) and some involved the participation of their children also. Parents of children from Nursery to IX participated in all the games with a good spirit and cheer and they probably relived their childhood for a brief time. ‘Dress up the child and run’ was for the parents of pre-primary kids. That was cute, slow and steady. ‘Rush for Shopping’, ‘Balancing the balloon’ were very entertaining and there was ‘One-minute game’ for fathers and ‘Musical Chairs’ for mothers separately. The games revealed their team work, agility and above all their spirit of participation. The hustle and bustle, the gaiety and glee of the ‘Sports Day for Parents’ will be remembered for a long time to come.
