Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures! Friday 22nd July It was the week of the Upside Down Trouser Dance!  ‘I’m upside down Trouser Bob and welcome to my silent Disco! All you have to do is place a pair of trousers on your arms, upside down and away you go, DANCE!’ We danced and danced until we landed in the sea, lay on our backs to feel the breeze of Upside Down Trouser Land! Our bellies were full of cake after landing inside Esmerelda’s Cake World. We had to eat our way out and then bake more cake mixture for her to fill the holes with!  Grannies gathered from far and wide! Granny CeeCee from South America! Granny Umberella & Granny Sunglasses joined us from America having just been to a very relaxing musical concert!  Granny Lazy felt like doing nothing! Granny Swoon loved to Swim! All the grannies went into the green Magic Ball today and had a very marvellous time!  At Big Porridge & Play online, we always have the most wonderful time! I wonder where we might go next…!

Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures! Friday 24th June The return of the Jelly Catwalk!!! To land on a cloud would be a fine thing, but to land on a jelly would be a dream. What if this Jelly tasted of strawberries? And when you bounced you landed in a giant Jelly Castle?! This is what happened for us in our Magic Ball! We were greeted by a confused pink-haired Jelly Queen, who was holding her event of the year… THE JELLY CATWALK. ‘Would you like to join?’ She asked in a high pitched, wobbly voice. ‘You must dress up as a Jelly character, walk the walk, and each time the music stops… POSE!’   ‘YES,’ we all cried. And our Jelly characters were invented. Adeelah had a snake balanced on her head! Stella had ice-cream in her ears! Zoha was the doughnut girl! Anaya had scrunchies on her eyes! We walked the walk and posed until we could pose no more. And it even turned out there was a world famous French model there who exclaimed that she had never seen such amazing posing in her whole life!! 😮 What an adventure! This week was a particularly inspired session of Big Porridge & Play Online. It was a world class demonstration of how much fun [...]

Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures! Friday 10th June Awoo! This week was all about animals! We met Lindsey the Lion with a dressing gown on her head! (Felicia) Stronger the Bear, the strongest of them all! (Ameen) The fastest cheetah! (Stella) And the biggest and baddest of WOLVES!! Awoo! Being the only animal in the forest with a watch, the wolf is the most powerful of all. ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?' They all cry! ‘Time for my nap.’ He says with a sigh. So all of the animals heave into a sleep, until they’re awoken with a need to eat. ‘What’s the time Mr Wolf?' They all roar! and wake Mr Wolf, with a snore, he shouts ‘12 o’ clock…… DINNER TIME!!!’ And all the animals leap to their homes, while the wolf snaps his jaws and grumbles and moans! Sarah said: ‘Wolf was my favourite game because it was fun!’ And Praise said: ‘I drawed the wolf shouting dinner time and everyone running away and when he said go to bed and go to school. Someone is crying because she missed the bus! They are holding sponges and things to clean the house.’ We also had a brilliant time playing MUCKY BREW! We covered ourselves in purple slime, apples, strawberries, flour, sunflower [...]

Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures! Friday 27th May This week was all about… chefs! Football chefs, Zuper chefs and Superhero chefs all joined forces to make a fantastic CAKE!!! And what a cake it was. I will share the recipe with you now. OUR SUPER CAKE RECIPE: INGREDIENTS: For the cake:  Runny milk chocolate Strawberries Salt and vinegar noodles Electricity bolt Love Berries Pepperoni and corn pizza Sweets For the topping: Spicy powder Tangerine slices Icing Sprinkles To catch the electricity bolt the Zuper Hero Chef guided us through. We had to run outside and think of something sad, and if we all threw the sadness into the air at the same time it would evaporate and transform into an electricity bolt! We had to quickly catch and hold it with all of our strength before throwing it into the cake bowl! Why don’t you give it a go? The cake was rather spicy but very delicious and we washed it down with a glass of milk! We each took a bite of the electricity bolt and our bodies started bouncing uncontrollably, filled to the brim with energy and excitement. We bounced and bounced until we could bounce no more, and after that we all felt great! Next time you’re playing why don’t you [...]

Welcome to the Big Porridge & Play Online blog where we share our stories and adventures! Friday 13th May Hello and welcome to Big Porridge and Play Glasgow online 2022! We had so much fun coming together again to play from all over Glasgow! We played Miss Mary Mac, Big as a Bear, Funky Chicken, Dressing Up, and Magic Ball! It was so much fun using our imaginations, remembering in our imaginations we can go anywhere, be anyone and do anything! It was great to see so many of our friends again after so long. We also welcomed a new family! We’d like to say a big Licketyspit welcome to Sarah, Stella and Joy! We all love a good song and rhyme at Licketyspit! So, we started off with Miss Mary Mac! Seeing everyone saying the words and doing the actions in our boxes together helped me feel really connected. Saif & Fateh even said "I love this. It is so much fun, " which is what we love to hear! Having 35 of you all joining in with the fun and games at our first session was amazing and really shows how our Licketyspit family champion play! Playing games online is a little different to playing in person, but we have just as much fun. It also means we get to play with others who wouldn’t always [...]
