Day 18 - May 26 - Saturday

All morning and afternoon, we worked at an English camp for kids! We performed a couple of dramas and a couple of songs in English, then we led some group games with the kids. After that we split the kids into three groups; some of us VISION members were team leaders, and some were game leaders, and the teams rotated to different game stations. Mark and I were in charge of a game station where we taught the kids a variation of the shipwreck game. We were playing in a field marked out into a square, and when I called out "front", the kids had to run past a line marked at the front of the square. When I called "back", they had to run to the back, and same for "left" and "right". Whichever kid crossed the line last was out, until there was only one kid remaining. Two groups rotated through the game, then we stopped to eat lunch. We spaced ourselves out so that each table had a VISION member, so the kids could have an American to practice their English with during lunch. It was so much fun connecting with the Brasilian girls who sat at the table with Rebeka and me! Their English was surprisingly good, and it was great to see how readily they helped one another when someone couldn't figure out what English word to use. After our lunch break we played our game one last time with the third group, then we went back to our home at the church. We had three hours to ourselves, then we had a performance there... our last performance with dramas. :/ Tomorrow morning we will only be singing. Some of the kids there showed up to church for our performance just because we had been at their day camp this morning! It was so neat to talk with them afterward.
