Our Adventure Playground
Kids play on an adventure playground or form teams to play soccer and basket ball. Also popular are skipping and such games as tag.

On rainy days and at other times when they can't go outside, children spend the time chatting with their friends, play board games or reading and drawing in the classroom.
