Just LET THEM PLAY!

At The Academy of Indian Lake Village, we believe the best learning happens when kids are laughing, moving, and getting a little messy. That’s why we’re diving into summer with our brand-new theme: Let Them Play! This hands-on learning initiative celebrates what childhood is all about — exploration, movement, and discovery through play. From toddlers to our oldest Wildcats, every age group is jumping into summer with open minds and even fuller hearts.

This week, our playful adventures included: 🏗️ Pool Noodle Towers – Students were challenged to stack, balance, and build with pool noodles. It was the perfect combo of engineering and silliness! 💦 Water Bucket Races – Speed met splash as we tested teamwork, coordination, and who could carry the most water without soaking their shoes! 🎈 Balloon Tennis – Balloons bounced, paddles swung, and laughter echoed as we improved hand-eye coordination through this lighthearted challenge. 🥎 Teacher vs. Student Kickball Game – The competition was fierce (and funny)! Our teachers brought their A-game, but our students were quick on their feet and full of spirit. Let’s just say… the teachers may need a rematch! "Let Them Play" isn’t just our theme — it’s our philosophy. Through play, our students learn problem-solving, communication, creativity, and confidence. Each activity is more than just fun — it’s a stepping stone in their developmental journey. After all… if childhood isn’t for playing, what is?
