MAY GAME
OF THE MONTH - MOTHER MAY I?
In honor of Mother's Day in
May, one game I remember is Mother May I. One person (it could be Mom) stands facing away from a line of kids. She then chooses a child (at random, or in order), and announces a direction. These follow a pattern, such as, "Brian, you may take' x' giant/regular/baby steps forward/backward." The child responds with "Mother may I?" Mom then states "Yes" or "No", depending on her whim, and the child complies. If the child forgets to ask "Mother may I?" he/she goes back to the starting line. First one to touch Mother wins.
OR
In one variation I learned, each child takes turns asking, "Mother may I take . . . steps?" And the child who is mother replies yes or no. In addition to baby, regular, and giant steps, we had ballet steps which were kind of like fake ballet turns.
Another way we played the mother would say, "Take __ ____________ steps [always] forward." And each child in turn would reply, "Mother, may I?" Then, Mother tell each child whether they could or couldn't.
Other steps:
Scissors step- jump while crossing your feet, then jump while uncrossing them was one step
Banana step-laying down with feet at current spot, marking where the top of your head was, and getting up there for new spot.
Bunny step - a hop

PHUN STORY - THE TATER PEOPLE
|
Some people never seem motivated to participate, are just content to watch while others do the work. They are called "Spec Taters".
Some people never do anything to help, but are gifted at finding fault with the way others do the work. They are called "Comment Taters".
Some people are very bossy and like to tell others what to do, but don't want to soil their own hands. They are called "Dick Taters".
Some people can put up a front and pretend to be someone they are not. They are called "Emma Taters". |
 |
Some people are always looking to cause problems by asking others to agree with them. It is too hot or too cold, too sour or too sweet. They are called
"Agie Taters"
There are those who say they will help, but somehow just never get around to actually doing the promised help. They are called
"Hezzie Taters"
Then there are those who love others and do what they say they will. They are always prepared to stop whatever they are doing and lend a helping hand. They bring real sunshine into the lives of others. They are called "Sweet Taters".

Start by creating a long straight body. Bend an 18-inch length of wire in half. Use the pliers to curl up a 3/4-inch section near the bend to create the tip of the tail. From the other end, slide nine 6mm beads onto the doubled wire. Next, add two 8mm beads followed by one 12mm
bead.
Make the wings by threading eighty 6mm beads onto a
20" length of wire. Bend the tips to keep the beads from sliding off. Shape the upper two thirds of the strand into a figure 8 for the top set of wings; then shape the lower third into a smaller set of wings.
Set the body on top of the wings and attach the two by wrapping the trailing wire ends of the wings around the body wire between the 8mm beads.
