ILLUSION - NONE OF THESE CIRCLES ARE ACTUALLY MOVING

Tag: It seems that everyone knows how to play tag, but just in case, here is how you play. A group of kids decides who will start out as being “it.” That person chases the other people around, trying to tag one of them with their hand. The newly tagged person is now “it.” There is often the rule of “no tag-backs” where you can’t tag the person who just tagged you. The game ends when everyone is tired of playing.
Shadow Tag: In this fun version of Tag, you tag each other’s shadow with your feet instead of tagging their body. Thus, it must be played on a sunny day. The closer to noon, the greater the difficulty.
Freeze Tag: This is a variation of Tag where if the person who is “it” tags you, you have to freeze where you are. Another participant can tag you to unfreeze you.
TV Tag: A variation of Freeze Tag where the person unfreezing the frozen player has to call out a TV show title. That show then can’t be used again during that game.

KIDZ....
STAY ORGANIZED THIS SCHOOL YEAR
|
Decorate the whiteboard and corkboard around the edges with fun, school-themed stickers. Let your child help decide where to place the stickers.
Be sure to have a whiteboard marker nearby. You may want to tie a string or piece of yarn to the pen and attach it to the board so it doesn't get lost.
Keep slips of paper in a drawer nearby or place supplies inside an envelope and tack it to the corkboard. Attaching a pen or pencil with yarn would be handy as well.
Keep some reward stickers near the bulletin board to give to your kids when an assignment or project is completed.
Use your board as a reminder for all sorts of things, including: Assignment due dates,
field trip dates, school supplies list, parent/teacher conferences, announcements,
library book reminders

AUNTIE
MARGARET SEZ: Different types and sizes of whiteboards and corkboards are available at craft supply and discount department stores. Don't forget to check if they come with the necessary items to hang the board on the wall before you buy.
Whiteboard pens are available at any office supply or discount department store.
Keep it colorful! Buy whiteboard markers in different colors, and consider assigning specific colors for different kids. Do the same with slips of paper and
thumbtacks.
