That's Entertainment!

Hi All,

Here are where things stand as far as the entertainment portion of the party:

Games
There have been 3 suggestions for games submitted so far-

1. Fall Harvest Bingo: Like the typical Bingo game, but with fall pictures (pumpkins, leaves, scarecrows, etc).

2. Fall-Themed Memory Game: Several fall-inspired items are placed on a platter. The kids get to look at the items and ask questions for a few minutes. Then the platter is covered and the kids have to remember as many items as they can. Due to their age, maybe we can have pictures of various items and the kids circle the ones they remember.

3. Pumpkin Pass Game: This is kind of like musical chairs...the kids sit in a circle and pass small pumpkins while music plays. Once the music stops, the person without a pumpkin goes out. And then it repeats - the last person holding a pumpkin wins.

If you have any other suggestions for games, please let me know.


Story
I came across a book called "Fletcher and the Falling Leaves" which might work - it's all about Fall. Please let me know if you have other suggestions.


Arts & Craft
Danna volunteered to coordinate the Arts & Crafts project. Nicole sent a really cute suggestion for a craft involving pumpkins. If you have any other suggestions please pass them along.

Thanks!

Eat, Drink & Be Merry!

Hi Ladies,

Here is the consolidated list of who is bringing which items:

Plates, Napkins, Cups - Nicole
Sweet Snack (Rice Crispy Treats) - Nicole
Salty Snack - Danna
Fruit (Oranges) - Kristin
Juice Boxes - Kristin
Goodie Bags for students & teachers - Nancy

For planning purposes, please remember that there will be 16 people attending the party.

Please let me know if you want to decorate. I was thinking at the very least to have tablecloths and small centerpieces.
