The post about the event in Hudson reminded me of our Around the World Passport to Adventure Finale event.Pictures are posted on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150266468899764.349384.89198529763&type=1
We had about 12 stations. Each station was set up as a different county with a game, craft, or activity. Each station had a poster of the country and children’s books which folks could check out. Some stations also had a boombox with music from that country softly playing. Here’s what we had:
Egypt: make a pyramid and write your name in Hieroglyphics
Mexico: make yarn art or paper plate maraca
Jamaica: coconut macaroon
South American wild animal scavenger hunt
USA: folksingers
Arctic Circle: make an arctic animals book like Polar Bear Polar Bear
Australia: make a boomerang bookmark or didgeridoo
Japan: make a fish kite
India: make a twirling palm puppet
Antarctica: Culver’s Lemon Ice treat and make a snowflake
France: play Snail hopscotch
Greece: hopscotch
Switzerland: enjoy the music and yodeling of KinderChor, children’s choir
What fun! Karen estimates that between 400 and 800 people attended this awesome program.
