October 9th: Parent/Child Sibshop

Parent/Child sibshop was a fun filled spooky day full of treats, games, and prizes too!
We started off by decorating these fun masks.
Each mask was so unique.

Then we played some fun games including Vampire in the Dark and Hoola-hoop around the circle. We played parents against children and the parents won twice in a row!


Some of the volunteers from the BYU Special Education department read us stories about children with disabilities. We discussed them with our parents and shared some of our feelings about having a sibling with a disability.

We wrote letters to our friends and family telling them what our favorite or least favorite thing about having a sibling with a disability. Our parents wrote about us and shared it with everyone. It was nice to hear all the great things the parents had to share about their sons and daughters and what big helps they are with their siblings.

After lunch we got loaded up on sweets.

There was a donut from a string eating contest.

This is more difficult than it looks.
Plus, we all made our own dirt dessert with gummy worms buried inside. Overall, it was a fun day and it was so nice to have our parents join us for a sibshop, so they could see why we enjoy coming so much each month.
