Kill the
Cockroach
Divide the
players into two teams. Line them up, one in front of the
other and set an odd object in front of the first players in
line. They must kick the object across the yard and the across
the finish line to win a point for their team. Kick things

THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO
DO
Print our template and cut it
out. Trace the kite onto construction paper and cut it out. Use any color you
would like. Trace the bows onto construction paper and cut them out as well. Color
and decorate the kite to make it your own. When the kite is finished being
decorated, tape a short section of string to the back of the kite. Tape the bows
onto the string using small pieces of tape. Hang on a window or door.
