On Wednesday at Georgia King Village, it was drizzling and there was fog in the air. We checked the garden, and there was a noticeable change in the growth of the vegtables. After we checked the garden, we went inside we began our activity. Initially we were going to teach the children the numbers one through ten in Italian but it was hard enough to learn from one to five. The four children that attended seemed to enjoy very much learning how to say the numbers.

We played two Italian games in honor of Sardinia's big festival for St. Efisio, which goes on May 1 to 4. One game, one person was a witch and called out colors, then the children had to run around the room and find something of that color the witch said before the witch caught them. The second game was almost simliar to Mother May I where there was a princess who told the other kids how many steps they could take to her castle and what animal they had to act out while they walked toward her.

For the snack we made the Italian flag out of vegetables on a kebab.We used red bell peppers and little cherry tomatoes as the red, a piece of Swiss cheese as the white, and cucumbers as the green. The children seemed to like the snack, although I think that one of the kids didn't like the cheese. It was still a good, fresh snack for them!
