Screaming Sticks
Have you ever put your head in a pillow to just SCREAM? Feels good doesn't it?
In health we are going to be doing a traditional native american activity called: “Run and Scream”. This game traditionally helped children and youth build strength, endurance and lung capacity (which is the amount of air a pair of lungs can hold after breathing as much air in as possible).
As a class we have discussed the significance of choosing a stick from nature that you 'connect with'. We decorated our sticks with different objects to reflect our personalities. We also discussed importance of being in control at all times while running and that this is not a competitive race against others, it's traditionally a practice to improve individual performance. In all areas of life we do not need to compare ourselves to others, only improving ourselves and trying our best to do better than we've done in the past. Not to mention it's great for mental health!
We can't wait to go outside to Run and Scream! Check back for our screaming pictures!
