Jake’s Back to School Party

Today we had a back to school party to get Jake excited for school.  The boys all had a lot of fun.  We started the day by playing the classic games of duck, duck, goose and red light green light.  The kids had a lot of fun doing this and they followed the rules pretty well.  Then we had a back pack relay where the kids raced to fill their backpacks with school supplies.  They wanted to play that game twice.  After that we had a scavenger hunt and that is where it really got wild.  The kids all raced to be the first to find the clues.  After that we did some quieter art projects and then we made ice cream.  Making ice cream is a lot more difficult then the instructions made it sound, especially with 10 eager little kindergartners.  We made it in bags that the kids were supposed to shake until ice cream formed but the kids expected it to form like magic.  It is funny because they were all frustrated during the making part but both my boys said that it was their favorite part of the party.  All in all it went well and we are looking forward to starting school tomorrow.
