There will be 3 stations set up: a music station, a cornhole station, and a garden tour station. These stations will help us to build the part of the Successful Day of Fishing Script where the lazy character Sassouma tries to get out of doing any work when she goes fishing with Sogolon.

climbing one) - Record on the activity card if there was any suffering with any of the activities
