Children's Activities Goals:

To provide the individuals participating in Children's Activities with those types of contests that are simultaneously entertaining, educational, and fun for all who participate. The emphasis will be on activities that are fun in nature, having low physical risk, and stressing a minimum of competitiveness. Activities will promote friendly individual and team competition where all participants get some kind of reward or prize for participating. The focus of activities will be for age groups from 6 to 14, with sub-groupings for most activities as follows: ``Shorter Kids" - ages 6 - 9; ``Medium Sized Kids" - ages 8 - 11; and ``Taller Kids" - ages 10 - 14. Activities will include the following:

1. The Great ``Fu-Bird" Feather Hunt
2. Kids Races to include:
     a. Sack Race (By Age Groupings)
     b. Three Legged Race
     c. The Back-to-Back Race
     d.Peanut & Spoon Race
     e. Spoon and Water Glass Race
3. Children's Tea Social - stressing the era's good manners.
4. Scavenger Hunt
5. Turtle Races
6. Potato Toss
7. Bead Stringing/Bead Recovery
8. Cat and Mouse Game
9. Wooden Hawk and Knife Hoop Throw (Shorter Kids)
10. Water Balloon Toss (if weather is warm)
11. Seed Spitting Contest
12. Flag Identification (Medium and Taller Kids)

Other games can be devised as the number of children demand and / or age groupings dictate.

If you have homework that needs to be done during the Eastern, don't let it hang over your head, or keep you from having fun! Come on over to school in the mornings and let me help you. If you need help with phonics, or fractions, or French, scramble out of those warm blankets, grab your books, and we will get those assignments out of the way.

If you don't have any work, or got yours all done already, but want to see what school was like for your great, great grandparents - come join us! Find out what a slate pencil is, what their reading books looked like, and how they learned geography.
