Blow it

This stall mainly focused on blowing, which many children enjoy. With that concept in mind, we planned the stall to include blowing candles and bubbles.

Activity:

To win the activity, the participants had to complete three steps.
1st step - Blowing 6 candles
Step down or modification - Blowing 2 candles.
2nd step – Blowing of bubbles using water which was mixed with shampoo.
3rd step – Blowing of 12 candles
Step down or modification – Blowing of 6 candles.
After finishing each step, the child was given a reward. The complexity of the activity was reduced according to the child's level of skill. The attempt to engage in the task was appreciated.
The children appeared to enjoy the game as they were rewarded at the end of each task. Almost all the participants tried to finish the game in-line with their ability.
