Orphanage at Klin













We left the Senior Citizen's Home and drove to the Orphanage at Klim. Of course the first thing they did was to serve us lunch! Then we danced around the Christmas tree with Grandfather Frost and the Snow Maiden and played games. The children presented some wonderful entertainment for us including holiday songs and oriental dances. One of the games we played was the "newspaper game". Unfolded newspapers were placed on the floor and couples danced on the square of paper. When someone stepped off the paper they were out. The remaining couples had to fold their papers in half and dance again. This kept going until the papers were folded down to about a six inch square just big enough for one shoe. A couple of the teenage orphans won the game - he had to pick her up and balance on one foot to win!
