This was the last meeting for X-Factor as a makeup from a while ago. We learned how to play tennis. I was with the littles of the group and they learned how to hold the racket and control the ball. They also played last man standing and tried as a group of 4 to walk with their rackets on top of each other with a ball in between each racket.
We were teaching volleyball to both of the groups. Both groups I was helping the littles and both times helping 1 due to the uneven amount of kids. I also controlled the music for hot potato volleyball for both groups. They both got A+s for turning in all their name tags, and I helped take down all the nets and put away balls.
The groups learned Mauy Tai with X-Factor. Both times I was helping the kids hold the target for their partner along with helping them understand how to hit the bag. Both groups loved it and every time Mr.Aleck was helping hold for the instructor the kids would want the instructor to hit as hard as possible. My group also got another A+ for turning all their name tags in.
For the 1st group me and another intern led the 5-7 year olds in shooting toy bow and arrows. The 2nd group I was leading them in activities like disk golf and kicking a ball around in between them shooting the bows and arrows. My group also got an A+ for turning in all of their name tags.
This week, both groups learned about soccer basics along with me. Both times, I was with the older kids in the groups; with the first group, I even played a round with them. We mainly learned how to dribble the ball, move it around the field, and work in a team with each other while doing so. My group also turned in all their name tags again and got an A+ again.
We played kickball with both X-Factor groups at Willson Park. Both groups were very excited to learn how to play kickball, and loved playing it. I helped them by knowing where to run and who to pass the ball to for their group. Both groups also got told of a competition between the 3 X-Factor groups on who can turn their names tags in the most without any missing. I was put in charge of making sure the 3nd group on Thursdays have all their name tags turned in so they can get an A+.
