wii day/halloween party
Bringing one of the Wiis I have to work today. Tomorrow the leadership program we have will be putting on a Halloween party. I don't celebrate Halloween and we have a couple of kids who will be sitting out, so I'm gonna bring it in tomorrow so they have some fun stuff to do.
The activities we have arranged for tomorrow are a costume contest, relay races/field day, and three indoor activities: mini pumpkin decorating, "spooky" slime, and gravestone dirt pudding (not sure what this is actually called. It's dirt in a cup pudding [chocolate pudding and oreo crumbles, typically with gummy worms], but they're gonna put a little sugar gravestone and a brain candy on it.)
So as an alternative but still kinda fun thing, we'll have the Wii with Just Dance and Mario Kart, slime making, and making lemonade (and regular dirt in a cup pudding if we have extra). Unfortunately two of the staff I have will be out and I don't know what staff they'll send us to facilitate the activities because, again, I am not participating. That's a point of anxiety I have right now.
I haven't plugged in this Wii at all, so I'm taking the Wii today to try setting it up and see if it would actually work at all. Hopefully it'll be fun.
Today, we also need to start blowing up the inflatable items we bought for the party. We got Halloween themed ring toss and limbo and blowing up that stuff honestly takes forever. I also need the leadership kids to put together gift bags but IDK how many more we have. We have tons of party favors and I would rather the kids don't just stuff everything in their pockets or drop it on the ground to contribute to the littering issue our school already has.
Speaking of littering: I do want to incorporate more community outreach education into program. I actually have a lot of things I want our students to start doing. Including, but not limited to, gardening, thank you letters to parents and teachers, research projects about how to improve their community and school, and more school wide events hosted by our program. But this takes a lot of brain power that I typically do not have.
Hopefully the Wii works out. I'll be using it, at least.
