The Fall Leaves Creative Memories
posted by
As the leaves were falling this autumn, some of the Wilkes Team put their minds together and came up with a creative idea. Our yard was covered with an abundance of leaves. We decided to make use of this wonderful resource.
Using rakes, we began creating trails that zigzagged back and forth all across the yard in what became a maze full of many trails and dead ends 
.
After the raking, we played a game of freeze tag. During the 
game, one person would go around and either open up or close trails making the game full of much adventure and unexpected’s.
It was a blast watching both the older and younger ones run up and down the trails having so much fun. We’re looking forward to next fall already!
Kenan – if I recall correctly, you were the one to originate the idea. Thank you for the way you so often take ordinary things and make them extraordinnary and ever so memorable. I don’t think I’ve ever had so much fun playing in the leaves!
Hey – I was just over at the Neely Team’s site, and they also enjoy playing in the leaves: http://theneelyteam.com/2009/12/04/playing-in-the-leaves/
What a creative leaf game!! That looks like fun. We only have one small tree in our yard, so we don’t have many leaves – only the ones that blow in from the neighbors.
Wow Kenan! Looks like a lot of fun! Not all of our leaves are raked yet – our two big oak trees have left a lot for us this year.
I’ll have to mention this game as an idea to play when we take part in that wonderful work together! Thanks for the creative suggestion!
