Get Ready! Football

Once a week, the Get Ready! Girls get a chance to go on a mini field trip, This can be a trip to the library, or to the Olympic Stadium to play 'football' or to the park near the riverside to play some games.


I joined them for a trip to the Olympic Stadium when I was up in Phnom Penh in Jan. Actually I was at the Alexandra Family House talking to Sofia and the others and saw 2 very crowded tuk tuks full of Get Ready! girls and asked Pheakdey to let me tag along. How can I miss out a chance to sit on a tiny tuk tuk with 9 other people cramped in it?
Half the Get Ready! Girls and Pheakdey posing for pictures in front of the stadium. The other half were lost in another entrance of the stadium on their tuk tuk with the kindergarten teacher, Thida. Pheakdey ran off to find them soon after.
The girls went straight to action, kicking their flip flops off and playing their own version of 'football'
Now that EVERYONE's arrived, Pheakdey goes ahead and briefs the girls.
Two lines, two teams.
Football - no rules apply here.
After the games, we went up to the top of the Olympic Stadium to take in the view.
