Wacky Games

Arts at Wacky Games The Texas heat can sure get to anyone. In fact it made the Summer Playground participants a little crazy for Wacky Games at the Polo Fields of Zilker Park.

Every seven minutes each group of kids rotated through all sixteen activities. Activities for the day ranged from Watermelon Seed Spitting to the Sea Waiver. Since the sun was out a lot of the activities involved water to cool down the kids. Some of the water activities were, Sponge Relay, Water Pole, and Soppy Shirt Relay.

The most unique activity was the Art. Kids pushed around paint balls on white paper with styrofoam noodles. The end result was an abstract picture of red, yellow, and blue strokes. At noon the kids enjoyed a lunch provided by the Summer Food Program. After lunch and a break the kids resumed their activities. At one o'clock everyone boarded the buses for home with smiles and wet clothes.
