Big Porridge & Play Outdoors
Do you know how sometimes when we play we tele transport ourselves places on the Magic Ball? Or sometimes we jump into paintings or video games? Or we slide down chutes into other worlds?
Well, after months and months playing together on Zoom, it felt like we all jumped out of our screens to gather in person at 4 parks across Glasgow for Big Porridge & Play Outdoors!
When the restrictions finally allowed us to play together safely outdoors in groups of 25, we were ecstatic to meet old and new friends alike for imaginary play, chat and a samosa, as part of Big Porridge & Play 2021.
