You can’t solve problems if there’s always an adult right there at recess or in a play group\, solving them first!\nMixed-age play benefits all kids. Older students develop responsibility\, leadership and empathy. Younger kids learn executive function by trying to be like the big kids.\nKids who are allowed to take small risks and figure things out themselves at home will have more grit and determination at school.\n\nOur club sessions will be on Tuesdays from 10-noon\, with a monthly commitment so we can manage the participants and “lifeguards” for each play club session. We’re moving the location indoors to beat the heat.\nLocation: Richland Library (Main/Downtown) 1431 Assembly St\, Columbia \nThere’s a large children’s room with open areas for kids to gather for self-directed activities. There’s also a designated teens only area (even parents aren’t allowed in).\nSomething for any age.  URL:https://www.colacityhomeschoolers.com/event/let-grow-play-club-8/ CATEGORIES:All Ages END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20230804T120000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20230804T140000 DTSTAMP:20260503T000745 CREATED:20230801T162319Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230801T162319Z UID:29528-1691150400-1691157600@www.colacityhomeschoolers.com SUMMARY:Firefly Homeschool Day DESCRIPTION:Homeschool Day\nby Firefly Toys & Games\nFirst Friday of the Month\nAll Ages — Free\nNote: This is not a Cola City Event. \nFirefly staff will be highlighting and teaching educational board games which cover a range of subjects\, such as: Math\, Science\, Geography\, Chemistry and many more. \nUse games for education; come learn about it!
