Porridge & Play Bridgeton Week 1
Back for our 4th year in 2025
Bridgeton Blog!
5th September 2025
Howdy Bridgeton, it was brilliant to see you all again on Friday. You’ve all grown tall as trees!
It really is GREAT to be back for another year of Storyplay family fun at Bridgeton St Francis.
We welcomed 3 new families to our group and introduced them to some of our favourite Licketyspit games – Funky Chicken, Flying Balloons, Dressing Up and Magic Ball.
We also played Leeanne’s game Street Catch, which is part of the All Scot Playcards we made together in 2022.
You can find out how to play it by clicking on the playcard —->
We dressed up in wonderful ways!
We met SuperMum who arrived from her kitchen on a plane and SuperGod who fights villains.
The Magic Ball took us to another dimension,
where we met a villain!
Luckily SuperGod was there to keep us safe.
We realised we were next to the Red Sea so we decided to have a swim. The water was so refreshing.
Then we came upon a ship and we climbed aboard. Just in time! A shark was swimming towards us.
Whoosh! SuperGod threw the shark into space
What a relief. The waves started to rock us all to sleep.
We woke up just in time to get into the Magic Ball and head back to Bridgeton for our dinner.
We had watermelon and soup, bread and cucumber and lots of other fruit.
Deeelicious!
We can’t wait to see you next week and play even more Storyplay games with you.
What will you imagine next?
Andre, Ruby, Paul and Virginia
The Storyplay Games
All our games are on our Lickety Playcards. You will get your very own pack in week 5 to help you Storyplay at home!
Reflective Drawing
We almost always do ‘Reflective drawing’ at the end of a Storyplay session. It’s nice to relax and draw & think about what we’ve all done & how we feel about it.
Reflective drawing isn’t about doing a ‘good’ drawing – it’s about drawing whatever comes into your head when you think about what you’ve just done.
But as you draw you realise more about what you thought or imagined in the session. And it’s great to share that with everyone & hear what they thought! So many things go on in Storyplay!
Here are some of our Reflective Drawings from this week:
Read some of the artist’s reflections from the Lickety Art Gallery:
My friend and me and my mum. Playing. I liked it.
A family goes on a trip and they sit under a tree in the sunshine.
A house and candy
Clothes (dressing up!)
It’s me looking for a present – a magic ball!
