The anticipation of the Treasure Bag and what delights it may hold is the weekly highlight for many children at GymbaROO. Each term our program incorporates a child friendly theme with a new related topic each week. In the younger groups this is referred to as our ‘visualisation time’ and in the older groups it is simply known as ‘Treasure Bag’. This fun activity is loved by all children and develops the all important skill of Visualisation – the ability of the child to see a picture or object in their minds eye. Reading is dependent on this skill. Your child will also develop language and socialisation skills at Treasure Bag time not to mention the ability to self-regulate as they wait patiently for their treasure to appear out of the bag.
Please together with your child choose 1 piece of ‘treasure’ relating to the weekly topic and bring it along with you each week to share with your friends at GymbaROO
