M – April 3: Wizards + Witchcraft

We’re going to start with a group game of Wizard Tag – like all good magical creatures. The Wizard holds a wand (it’s a pool noodle), chooses an animal + then runs around in a determined space, tagging others. The last person tagged is now the Wizard. I will bring supplies for this, mark out …
