Celebrate the End of Your School Year!

Kids often get the feeling that their “schooling” years will last forever.

That’s why it’s so important to celebrate the milestones!

If you haven’t already done this, now is a great time for a “We Made It Through Another School Year!” party.

Some ideas:

1. Invite friends & family. Have the children get out their best work from the past year and display it. Maybe have them recite some poems or Bible verses they have learned. They could even write and put on a short play!

2. For a “just the family” party, invite the kids to come up with a party theme that summarizes what they think of the past year. It’s OK if it’s more funny than complimentary! Make a cake or cupcakes that matches the theme – let them help with that part! Everyone gets to pick one of their favorite foods, and have a feast.

3. Make a papier-mache pinata and stuff it with small, unbreakable items like tiny cans of Play-Doh, a set of jacks (the children’s game also known as “knucklebones,” with a ball and small items to pick up), Silly Putty, etc. Let them swing away to reveal some summer fun!

4. Decorate the front walk or patio out back (any concrete area that isn’t public grounds) with “End of Term” messages in sidewalk chalk.

5. Make a “Our Family School Year 2017-18” scrapbook, with everyone pitching in art, photos, small memory items, sayings, and memories.

Even better, take some great pictures, write up what you did, and submit it as a “Day At Our House” article! Use the same Contact form, but this time select “Day At Our House” from the pull-down menu.

We’d love to hear from you!
