On August 31, there was real fun in the yard of our Russian house. There were several reasons for this.

Firstly, it was a reunion of old friends. It’s no secret that many people have made friends at our events. And what could be more enjoyable than playing, singing a favorite song, or drawing on the pavement together?

Secondly, it was an opportunity to have fun. Our regular little visitors know Irina Panteleeva well. She always comes up with something so engaging.

For example, this time, the children passed oranges to each other. “What’s so interesting about that?” you might ask. Well, try sharing an orange when it’s pressed under your chin or between your elbows. And oh, the laughter!

The children formed words from letters. Do you know what word they put together? Of course, it was the word “Cheburashka.”

There was also a dance flash mob. The song of Shapoklyak was perfect for Cheburashka’s orange mood.

Balloons and chalk are frequent attributes of our events when the weather is good, and the event is held outside.

Thirdly, of course, there was a sweet table: buns, candies, and… oranges. Because Cheburashka loves oranges.

Our holiday ended with a screening of the fairy-tale film about Cheburashka. But you already know that.
