Laughter is the Best Medicine

 
 

Kids in the R&R Club witness the power of belonging and shared experience

“At the beginning of every session, as participants would trickle in slowly and before we started the physical activity portion, we would always begin with a short game of either the coaches’ or children’s choosing.  One of the participants' favourites was a game where each person makes a sentence one after the other in order to make a story. The kids loved to get creative and make silly stories and it would always make everyone laugh. During one session, the kids were having so much fun making a story that they were all crying of laughter about how crazy the story they made was. It was great to see everyone engaged, being creative, and sharing a happy moment.  I’ve heard it said that laughter is the best medicine, and I can testify to that with these amazing kids as all their cares melted away and they witnessed the power of belonging and shared experience. The game has now became a weekly tradition in our Club!”
