The
session focussed on taking caregivers back to when they were younger to relive
their best play moments. We then set them free amongst materials such as
plastic bottles, string, bottle caps and other things found locally or
recycled. It was awesome to see this group of adults who are often a bit
reserved let loose and get stuck in, remembering their favourite games from
childhood...
We had skipping and jumping games, football, Subbuteo and a fierce game of throw and catch/piggy in the middle, with a Malawian twist. A big favourite with the team in Malawi was the role play in which the women went all out making a fire (from rocks and twigs), mixing Nsima (sand and water), relish (grass and water) - they even served it up for us all to enjoy - it was a joy to behold.
