M – December 22: Holiday Party!
It’s our last week here together! We’ll celebrate with a potluck lunch, exchange white elephant gifts + load our homeless holiday bags.
M – December 8: Chocolate-Fueled Writing
It’s National Brownie Day, so there’ll be more baking, of course. Let’s organize this first and get our space smelling amazing with a couple batches of chocolatey goodness in the oven. Our second activity today is creative writing with prompts + simple words games like Mad Libs.
M – November 10: Corvid Party
If you’d like to participate as a corvid, please wear black (or dress as any corvid) + plan to exchange shiny objects, as they are wont to do. If not, we will still make felt treasure pouches + complete a treasure hunt for goodies to put inside!
M – November 3: Candy Science + Sandwich Bar
Now that everyone probably has a few extra candies lying around, let’s use them to set up some kitchen science experiments. Bring a few packets of colorful candies no one will eat (Skittles, Dots, M+Ms, Nerds) + we’ll do a candy sorting game, then set up stations for the following candy-based activities: Candy Core Sampling / Candy Melt / Skittles Rainbow. For lunch, today is National Sandwich Day! Let’s set up a DIY sandwich bar.
M – October 27: Halloween Party
Halloween-themed games + activities will be happening throughout our day together! Please wear your costumes + plan to play! The group text thread has all of the games + prizes that Tasha, Tuesday + Tyrion have planned, so please bring whatever you signed up for – it’s not all listed below.
M – October 20: DIY Costume + Props
Today we’re working on our Halloween costumes – anything that involves sewing, cardboard prep-making, mask +/or costume design. Please bring extra fabric, cardboard, + any sewing machines/materials/needles you’re willing to share. If the kids want to work on play costumes, that’s fair game as well.
M – October 6: Pasta + Noodles
It’s National Noodle Day + we’re here for it! If you have a family noodle recipe you’d like to share, especially one where you shape the dough into something besides long strips, please bring it! Otherwise, we’ll take turns prepping this easy pasta recipe + using either rolling pins or a pasta machine to make noodles. You can literally shape your pasta into anything you’d like + then we’ll cook it in small batches.
