GATHERING ACTIVITY and GAME:  Paper Airplanes

Materials:


  •         Paper

Ideas
Nice weather? Have it outside... Bad weather? Hold it inside in a gym or large space! Create and decorate paper-airplanes. Come up with categories for the fun.
·         Example: Who's can go the farthest? Straightest? Highest?
·         Can anyone fly it through a hula hoop? Do loops?
·         Make a 'bull's-eye' similar to what you would use for playing darts; can anyone hit the bulls eye...or the outer circles.

GAMES: Sunny Day Tag

  You will need a SUNNY DAY for this game.
"It" chases free players and when "it" steps on their shadow... the free player becomes "it."

BADGEWORK: Foil Footprints

  Materials Needed:
  •          Towel
  •          Tin Foil
