Fun does this!
So, what happens when the Living Large crew decides to cook nachos on a BBQ? 🤔🌮
This week's outing to Elphinstone Street Park turned into a fun little experiment, with plenty of discussion about whether BBQ nachos would actually work and how they would turn out. Thankfully, the answer was a big success! The delicious nachos were enjoyed by everyone and sparked lots of laughs and conversation along the way.
The fun didn't stop there. Participants enjoyed shooting hoops on the basketball court, exploring the playground, chasing bubbles from the bubble machine, and taking a relaxing walk through the park together. A play-based approach is central to this structured community access program.
Activities like these provide opportunities to build social connections, develop communication skills, make decisions as a group, and increase confidence in community settings. Fun helps us to feel comfortable and safe enough to try new experiences, relate to people in order to make friends and to build positive memories that encourage us to make changes in our lives going forward.
