The curriculum was built around the States. Each age group was named after the State animal of one of the states that one of the interns was from. Incentives earned for doing well in something were State flags. And the show that the kids put on at the end of the program was made up of short dances from different states. The youngest kids did the hula, and the older kids did a choreographed dance to a song from the Broadway musical "Singin' in the Rain".
The kids had science and math workshops. They got to play new games. The read new books and learned about people in other places (another post summarizes the video postcard the Junior Leaders, aka the Longhorns, were exchanging with kids in Kenya). Overall, I think the kids and volunteers all had a great time!
This is the final practice for the kids before the big show! They did great! But I was busy helping with other things, so I couldn't get video of the actual show.
