Knights and Castles

on March 16, 2011

Last week when we went to the Adven­ture Play­ground for HE group, they had fin­ished the play cas­tle. Since we had no plan in mind for this week we decided to go take the cas­tle as inspi­ra­tion for a group session.

Susie read the chil­dren Herb the Veg­e­tar­ian Dragon to get us in the mood.
Then they all teamed up to paint a giant dragon, won­der­fully drawn by Donna.
Then we’d bought a load of craft sup­plies from Baker Ross and Crafty Croc­o­diles (Baker Ross showed up 10mins before I had to leave the house — Post­man prob­a­bly thought I was mad as I greeted him most enthusiastically.
So they dec­o­rated card swords.

Glass painted rings and necklaces.

And made scratch art crowns.

Then we stuck up the dragon and it was out to play. You may not be sur­prised there was a lot of knight related games.
Sam slayed the dragon…
Jack slayed the Princess!
Cubs was music night so Jack got to show off his key­board, recorder and boomwhacker skills and have a go on a full size drum kit, he got home very tired and happy.
