Welcome to July!
Expand-a-Picture was our trickle in activity of choice on this warm summer Saturday. Each Sibshopper choose a paper to complete the drawing. They had to work with what little they were given and create a complete work of art.
This rocket ship sailed right past the earth and some happy stars as it made its way to the moon.
The bats on this paper found a friend in a cave but had to protect themselves from frightening forces outside.
"Annoying Orange!" Of course.
The wrapped box became a present for delighted 12 year old birthday girl.
What are these Sibshoppers up to? They are playing a silly game of "Commons". Each group identifies three different signs they will make in the circle. When all four group members make the same sign after the countdown they win a point. Hard part it, no communicating allowed! You just choose a sign and hope your group chooses the same.
A point for the Dab!
Our Sibshoppers are experts; their expertise is in being a sibling of a brother or sister with special needs. We read some letters, "Dear Abby" style, asking for advice on how to deal with certain experiences in regards to being a sib. Our Sibshoppers gave their best advice. They sure know a lot about handling embarrassment, fear, parents, and friends.
1.) I sang for the Pope in Rome, Italy.
2.) I have fished for Halibut in Alaska.
3.) I broke my collarbone rolling down a hill at Girl Scout Camp.
Can you guess which one is a lie and which 2 are truths? We got to know each other a little better as we played "Two Truths and a Lie."
"Clothespin Tag" got our blood flowing. Nothing like running and attempting to grab clothespins off your opponents shirts. It is way tricky and a great way to get in some cardio.
All that running definitely worked up our appetites. After lunch we got started on an activity called "All Fired Up/Cool Down." We'll have more to show you next month as we wrap up this discussion, so stay tuned!
