Hi, ladies! :hi:
Our last co-op meeting of the year is on Monday. We are meeting at the park for a pie picnic and we will read Harold and the Purple Crayon. I'm looking for some games/activities to go-along. When it's my turn to plan a lesson for co-op, I usually have no problem thinking of things to do, but the park setting has thrown me for a loop.
I went to the thrift store today and bought a bag of purple clothing (for $3!) for a purple relay race (I got two boy "outfits" -- shirts, ties, hats, etc. and two girl "outfits"-- shorts, shirts, necklaces, and purple high-heeled shoes!).
The only other activity I can think of is to let them draw all over the walk way (it's five miles long, so plenty of room!) with sidewalk chalk. We could even play win, lose, or draw using the sidewalk & chalk.
We will let them play on the park equipment, too, and of course, we will have our picnic complete with PIES for dessert, but I was hoping for 1-2 more structured activities. Our ages are 4-8. Any ideas for a group (12 students)?
Thanks!
