Our tamariki  at BestStart Morrinsville enjoyed a game of roller bowling where the aim of the game is to roll the disks between the end goal and each disk is worth different points. This activity helps our tamariki to develop skills around turn taking, communication, and hand eye coordination. There were cheers of delight as the disks rolled through the goal and lots of encouraging words of support when they did not quite make it. All of our younger tamariki who wanted a go got to have a turn and our older tamariki supported them by helping them line up the goal, the perfect example of tuakana/teina where the older child helps the younger child to gain more knowledge and skills. I can see this being a new favourite game to play
