Picture Songs

By: Jordan Hill

This isn't radio. This is the music that founded generations of talent to come and also changed the face of the world. "Picture Songs" is a place where you can explore a whole different point of view.

These students are using song lyrics to learn how to visualize and interpret words into pictures. With songs like "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds" and "Little Boxes," it is easy to turn a song into a picture.

Expressions of the kids' faces during this club are bright and full of excitement. Learning new songs from different generations and expanding their minds show how much they enjoy this club.

Not only are they learning about the song but they are learning history, including the Civil Rights Movement, the 60's, and Peace and Love. The histories of these songs are timeless. So take a marker, turn it up loud and take a journey to the past with "Picture Songs."

Dexterity

By: Jordan Hill

Carry it, pass it, kick it, SCORE! Dexterity is a game that challenges the students' minds and physical abilities. Within their team, students must score on a goal slightly smaller than a soccer goal. They can carry it, but if they are tagged, it's the other team's ball.

During this fast paced game, the students work together to keep possession of the ball and score a goal. As the game progresses, kids develop strategies from passing the ball back and forth quickly to huddling around one player so they can carry the ball to the goal and score without being tagged. No one knows what strategy will be used next.

The students always end the club out of breathe and in need of water. Each week, they come in with a new and creative way to win, involving every age and ability level. Not only are the students competing and adapting in this challenging game, but they are learning how to be good sports and honest when they are tagged.
