Street Games and Play Parties© Deborah Jeter
Apr 24, 1998
Spring is when the children start getting a little restless in their anticipation for the upcoming summer break. These street games and play parties will be constructive play time and they can be conducted outside, where most of us want to be anyway at this time of year.
With May Day coming soon, this May Pole activity is a great deal of fun and requires a small amount of preparation. The May Pole Dance May Pole Pictures The May Pole of Merry Mount by Nathaniel Hawthorne. I couldn't believe what I found when I typed in "Play Parties" in the search engines. WHOA! It appears that our innocent child-oriented phrase "play parties," means a great deal more than circle games in regard to adult oriented play parties. What a shame. I did, however, know of a few sites that are full of wonderful activities and lessons. I hope you enjoy using these during this last six weeks of school. Hand Jive! Singing Games Circle games
