Sidewalk Games

June 28, 2012



The girls had mentioned wanting to play jump-rope games, so we decided for an activity we would play Sidewalk Games.  Even though it was 95 degrees outside, it was still a lot of fun.

Sidewalk Paint


Well of course we found this idea on Pinterest.  It is homemade sidewalk paint.  It was pretty fun and interesting to paint a sidewalk. 

All you need is:
     -1 cup of cornstarch
  -1 cup of water
   -Food coloring

 





London Calling

I found a booklet with several different Sidewalk Games, including London Calling.  The girls and I had never played it before, but it was interesting to figure it out.  It is a cross between Hop Scotch and Hangman.  I think Hannah had the most fun labeling what countries the coin landed in!


Jump Rope

We ended the Activity with popsicles and Jump Rope.  The girls had so many fun jump rope songs.  I was very impressed with their jump roping skills.  They even let me have a turn.  Of course, the girls had to reach their arms up high to get the rope over my head!

Fathers day

I forgot to take photos but here is the activity we made. Each girl wrote a note to their father on the back of the tag. They had a lot of fun and even got rootbeer floats to enjoy after all their hard work.
