Ata Tent – tent of fun
The activities we prepared for the children allowed them to have a lot of fun. We colored the tent with ornaments we made from different types and colors of paper and cardboard. Each volunteer had a task at 7 different stations. Reading books, experimenting, face painting, they painted plastic plates with colorful paints, there was a corner with toys for babies.
Many parents brought their babies and we played games together in that corner. They had a lot of fun with Çofukkar balloon guns and water balloons. We painted many children’s faces at the face painting station and they all really enjoyed it. At the experimental station, they experimented with making bubbles with a simple plastic bottle, detergent, food coloring and socks. Many children had their photos taken in the photography section we prepared.
As volunteers, we made lemonade and offered it to everyone who attended. A lot of children came to the tent to have their faces painted because we distributed tickets at the festival area and encouraged the children to come to the tent. In fact, when they saw each other’s faces painted, they wanted to come, so the plug was not enough and we made many patterns. The children were very interested in the tent, we decorated the place with balloons, octopuses we made from paper, colored papers. This was quite interesting!
As volunteers, the whole team worked very devotedly to decorate the tent and organize the activities with the children. Coordinators helped with what non-English speaking children wanted. Parents seemed very happy that their children were spending time with such activities. The children with their faces painted wanted to take pictures with a few volunteers. We all had a pretty fun time. We reached our goal! I hope we can reach many children and make everything better by doing much more beautiful activities!
