Forest Storyplay with Bridgeton Pals

Hanging out with pals in the sun, there’s nothing quite like it!

While unfortunately a few of our friends weren’t well this week, those that were hopped on the minibus from Bridgeton and joined us for a super Storyplay session at the Children’s Wood.

We warmed up, dressed up and suddenly we were joined by

Scary Movie – ‘I can eat everybody!’ – a scary monster who moves fast and chases people!
A Giant Dinosaur called Risen who lives in 100 countries and likes to eat trees
A Scary Cat with sharp sharp claws
A Big Dinosaur who eats people
Mummy Cat (Scary Cat’s mummy!)
Scary Kitten (Scary Cat’s sister, of course)
A Happy Bug called Fillipe
A Builder Dinosaur who wants to build a tower for the Bug Fillipe
A Goblin who likes to eat ladybugs feet for breakfast
And Peaches the Fairy who eats plenty of spinach

We felt a bit worried about getting eaten. Especially the bugs and beasties who live in the Children’s Wood! So Scary Movie gave the Goblin a lollypop, which helped change his diet.

And Peaches the Fairy gave everyone some spinach. It made us all dance!

Later on, we met a Robot Dragon a Sad Elephant and Cat, and a Zombie Elephant – in a game of Funky Chicken initiated by the Scary Cat.

We were also joined by our volunteer Emmanuel, who has been coming to Porridge & Play since he was 8 (he’s now 16!) and is a stellar Storyplay Champion! His highlights included playing on the stretchy spider web with Scary Movie and Giant Dinosaur!

We ate in the shade and did some drawing in the sun.

Peaches the Fairy even got her hair braided by Big Dinosaur (very expertly I might add).

What a lovely day of fun and friendship and play!
