📍 The Joyful Place

Part of our World of Wonders (WOW) school holiday series, this hands-on 2-day camp invites children to explore global cultures through food, stories and play — no passport required.

¡Hola España!

Across two days, children will travel through Spain through food, colourful art and childhood play.

They’ll cook paella, make churros, discover the colourful mosaic work of Antoni Gaudí and try games Spanish children have grown up playing in plazas, streets and playgrounds.

🌟 What children will do

DAY 1 – Learn & Explore

• Discover Spain, its food culture and everyday life

• Cook Paella (Spanish Rice) with chicken and vegetables for lunch

• Mix their own Ponche de Frutas (Spanish Fruit Punch)

• Discover Trencadís (Broken-Tile Mosaic), the colourful technique famously used by Antoni Gaudí, and create their own mosaic artwork

• Play childhood favourites including Chapas (Bottle-Cap Games) and El Pañuelo (The Handkerchief Game)

• Explore simple Spanish words and phrases along the way

DAY 2 – Create & Own

• Mix, pipe and make Churros, with adult assistance for frying

• Revisit savoury cooking with more independence

• Make and race their own Chapas (Bottle-Cap Racers)

• Play more Spanish childhood games and challenges

• Work in teams to create and run their own Spanish food stall

• Design their stall, menu and team roles before preparing, presenting and “selling” their food

• Recap childhood games

🧺 What to bring

Day 1: Please pack a snack and fruit box and a labelled drink bottle for your child. Lunch is prepared as part of the program.

Day 2: Please pack a light lunch and fruits and a labelled drink bottle for your child. As the recipe they are making in the morning will be sweet, some kids prefer to have a savoury option for lunch, they can have the morning dessert for afternoon tea.
