Y•Isolate Daily Challenge

A little bit different today everyone. Over the course of the Covid 19 lockdown our team has put their heads together and thought how we can continue to engage with our community. YMCA Y•Kai is our new initiative. Our team will upload videos and recipes from next week. We would love you to join and share with your friends.

So our challenge today is making a very simple recipe for under $10. It could be just as simple as an omelette. We can't wait to see what you come up with. We will choose a winner later in the day.

Back in the day when we were much younger than now. We enjoyed listening to stories on the radio.... we know - old school.

One of the favourites was Bad Jelly The Witch. You can listen if you would like youtu.be/mep9TlGDno4

The challenge today is tell us your favourite story and why. You could video you acting out part of it or draw your favourite part. We look forward to seeing. Have fun and we will pick a winner later in the day.

We hope you enjoy time out with the story to.

Thanks so much Josh & Nicky for your fundraising efforts. We know how hard it was to be taken from the tour and go straight into lockdown. From us at the YMCA thanks so much for doing this fundraiser for us. Our students will benefit by getting to do outdoor experiences. ... See MoreSee Less

The temperature turned overnight And we hope you are nice and warm for the day ahead. A timely challenge today as maybe just maybe things might be going to change again.

A little bit of normal might be coming. Lockdown has been so different for everyone. We would love to see some things that you are grateful for. Jo used her hand to create her gratitude art work. Let your imagination go and have a think of all the good things you've noticed over past few weeks ❤

We will choose a winner later in the day. We have been grateful for seeing everyone’s creativity, engaging with you all, seeing all your talents 👌😉🙃
