Each staff member will be given a backpack with cleaning spray, wipes & anti bacterial gel to use for the week. SOCIAL BUBBLE SYSTEM - Each member of staff will be given a “bubble” of the same children for the week. The staff member will stay with this group for the whole week and be in charge of supervising activities, break & lunch with them - Each member of staff will have a register for their “bubble”, if anyone who isnt on the registers appears, please send to Bryn in Butler hall
Each bubble will have in their allocated “base” location (Astro, Sports Hall, Gym, Butler Hall)

PROGRAM
Each day, staff must discuss with their “bubble” the activities they would like for the following day.
You can discuss and let the children choose, try to cover a variety to keep them all happy, we want to let them choose as much as possible, so get them to vote.
At the end of the day, bring your suggested activities to Bryn & we will work out logistics of location/resources etc for the next day
– You will be based in you bubble location in the morning and will be with your group for the day, so you must have the resources ready in the morning for your whole day & any sharing/switch over will be planned. - We have provided an outline of activities below for ideas, along with links to websites/youtube tutorials to assist with planning sessions
FIRST AID
Call Bryn if any incidents occur – Bryn is our first aider
Keep phones on you to be called/make call for emergency. CODES -Computers - Gates - Doors- updates onsite
Water games – We will not have swimming this year ( TBC) so instead will introduce a water games session. Outline below with some ideas, feel free to make up/use any other games. - Water pistol SPLAT The player standing in the middle of the circle is the “splatter”. The splatter randomly squirts water at someone and shouts “SPLAT!” The player pointed to must duck down; then the two players on either side of the “ducker” must “splat” each other by pointing to the other and saying “SPLAT!” Whoever is slowest get squirted with water and sits down and is out. Keep going until there is only 1 person left. They are the winner and become the splatter next.
– Duck Duck SPLASH – This game is similar to Duck Duck Goose. Sit the kids sit in a circle. The child who is ‘it’ has a cup of water. She walks around saying duck, duck, duck, while splashing a little water on each head as she walks by. When she gets to the person she wants to tag, she yells, “Splash!” and dumps the rest of the water from the cup onto that kid’s head. That kid has to chase them around the circle to try and beat them back to their spot or else they are the new ‘it’.
Time bomb but with a water bomb. One person is in the middle of the circle and they close their eyes and count to 10 in their head at any speed they like. Children start passing the water bomb around the circle carefully. When the person in the middle gets to 10 they shout “bomb” and whoever has the water bomb has to splash it on their own head.
Water balloon catch: This game simply requires some water balloons. Pick partners and toss the water balloons to each other. How many times can you pass it to your partner before you get soaked? Try and beat your score!
Water gun tag: Water gun tag is sort of like laser tag. Split into two teams and try to squirt the other team. The team with the driest shirts at the end wins! You can also play water fun hide and seek. Have one kid be ‘it’ while the other kids hide. When the kid who’s ‘it’ finds any of the other players, they get a wet surprise.
Water relay: For this game, split the kids into two teams. Each team has two buckets and an extra-large sponge. Fill one of the buckets with water and put it a few yards in front of the empty bucket. The point of this game is that one player from each team takes their sponge, runs down to the full bucket, fills the sponge with water and runs back to squeeze as much water as possible into the empty bucket. Then the next player goes and so forth, like a relay. The team with the most water in their bucket (the one that started out empty) wins.
Liquid Limbo: This game is a wet ‘n wild take on limbo. Just take a hose and turn the water on full blast. Use the stream of water as the limbo stick. See who can limbo the lowest without getting wet. Multi-sports
