How to keep kids entertained for two days?

By Elmine Wijnia | Published: October 16, 2008

It seemed like a good idea, a couple of weeks ago. To spend two whole days with the kids of my fencing club, practicing and preparing for the tournament we organise first weekend of November. The closer I get to Monday and Tuesday, the more daunting it seems. Keeping them entertained for an hour and a half can be challenging every now and then, so how about multiplying the amount of time I have to fill by 9…!

I spent a considerable amount of time on writing down a schedule yesterday, with lots and lots of excercises. I hope I have enough variation in serious practice and play. Hey, I even incorporate music and the Wii into it :-) .

Whatever happens next week, it will be a learning experience for me. Let’s hope that the kids will learn something as well those days (and that it was fun to learn that) ;-) .

  • About this blog


    This is my personal blog which I started in 2003. At first it was called Communigations, a variation on Communicative Investigations. The blog transformed itself more into a personal investigation than being a blog on communication and therefore needed a new name.

    As a fencer, the name of this blog reflects how I write my thoughts into coherent stories, fence them off from all the sidepaths and rapidly go back and forth, covering various topics that interest me.
