Story Time
To make money, have a story hour at your house (with a parent's permission). Invite neighborhood children to attend, and plan an hour of stories and games. You should also provide a healthy snack. Charge each kid's parents $5 for the hour. Do the story hour with a couple of friends so that it will be easier.
What kind of shoes do mice wear?
Squeakers!
After-school Snack
For a quick after-school snack, spread peanut butter on a few cheese crackers. Add a few raisins, too.
Animal Instincts
When I moved, my walls were bare, so I hung up posters of animals all over my room. I feel happy when I'm in my room surrounded by animals. If you're bored with your blank walls, ask if you can hang up lots of animal posters to make your room look cool!
Easy Clean-up
When you ask kids to clean up their toys, play a CD of music that they like or a recording of a favorite book. That way, they can feel as if they're having fun when they're cleaning, and they will probably be calmer, too.
Interesting Interviews
This is a fun get-to-know you game, and it works well with three or more people. Pick one person to be the 'interviewer.' That person will ask each girl three questions: 'When is your birthday?', 'What are three words that describe your personality?', and 'What's your favorite activity?' The interviewer writes down the answers and shares them with the group. It's a great way to get to know each other better! Just make sure someone interviews the interviewer, too.
Nifty Name
Display your name on your backpack in fun felt letters. Draw or trace letters onto colorful felt. Cut out the letters using scissors, and glue buttons or sequins to the letters if you'd like. Let dry. With an adult's permission, attach the letters to your backpack using fabric glue. This adds a lot of personality to your backpack!
Everything Equal
When working in a group, make sure that each group member is doing an equal amount of the work and that each of you understands the task at hand.
