Activity Day

When I was an activity day leader during March we talked about service. Our primary had all the 8 to 11-year old boys and girls come to the church and do the weekly cleaning for one of our activities. A service scavenger hunt would be fun-make sure each group has a leader with them and that the girls know not to go inside of any homes. Some ideas of service include: sweep porch or walkway, read a story to a child, bring in garbage can, play a game with a child, pull ten weeds, sing a song, wash a front door, pick up trash from the front yard. Here is a fun game where they can serve each other.

Frozen Bean Bag Game: The children begin by moving around the area balancing a beanbag on their head. If a player's beanbag falls, they are frozen until another player picks up the beanbag without losing their beanbag to free the frozen player. Each player keeps track of how many players they have helped. The object of the game is to help as many of the other players as you can.

We also did a fun kitchen craft making spring chicks from deviled eggs:

(I used bits of olive for the eyes, and bits of carrot for the beak)
