Fun in Your Own Backyard

Fun in Your Own Backyard is an activity that you do at Southeast Elementary School in the spring. There are lots of fun games that include water and some that don’t. Fun in Your Own Backyard is very close to the end of the school year. Some of the activities are indoor and some are outdoor. Sometimes a child gets hurt, so the nurse is outside just in case. There is a game called Sponge Throw. Sponge Throw is when you get to throw a sponge at a third or fourth grader’s face. The third or fourth grader stands behind a board with a hole big enough for a head to fit through. Kindergarteners get to take a sponge, run up and throw the sponge at the face behind the board. We have teams. Whichever team gets the most points gets to pour ice cold water on the principal and a couple of other teachers’ heads. :)
