She said we needed to draw a circle with chalk and all of us had to stay in it with one leader protecting everyone, while outside the circle, another player had to try to catch us all. If you are caught, you have to [...]

Welcome to our Jelly Catwalk!!

2022-08-03T08:45:58+00:00

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 [...]

Block 3 Week 2 Porridge & Play Bridgeton Tuesday 26th July What a fantastic week we had at Porridge & Play Bridgeton! This week we focused on how our Grown Ups used to play when they were children! With the excellent help of our Storyplay Champion Arriann we became investigators so we could interview our Grown Ups and see just what they were like when they were children! Before that of course we warmed up with a Dancing Warm Up! We loved it when Adie came to dance with us for a very special Family Art Voyage! We just love Dancing with Adie. So, we danced Licketyspit Style to get our investigating minds ready! The Dancing Warm up works by everyone standing in a circle! We love circles at Licketyspit. Everyone can see you and you can see everyone and games are best [...]

Arwa and Hadir are experts in play and showed us by making themselves as BIG as a BEAR!!! We think we could have some future actor pedagogues! We had a lovely session with some wonderful families and we found out all about each of them! Amira told us how hot it was in Egypt and that she had studied Chemistry at University in Cairo and enjoys cooking a traditional dish called Dolma which has cabbage and rice and lots of herbs. And as a family they love to sing. She said, “We like to go out together as a family, picnics and sing together. It is great to be us because we love to be together.” [...]

Find out all about our Picnic & Plays with the Bridgeton, Castlemilk and Cranhill Hubs! These blog posts show what we got up to and all the Storyplay-ing we did! Porridge & Play Hubs is running throughout 2022 with this block being the 2nd of our exciting New Scots Integration Project! Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to provide such amazing experiences for our children & families, and to all our Storyplay Champions! The Tall Ship or The Tall Ship Glenlee, was built in 1896. The former merchant sailing vessel will be 125 years old this year, the last remaining 3-masted Clydebuilt ship still afloat in the UK! The mission of the Clyde Maritime Trust is to care for the Glenlee and share the history of ships built on the Clyde for the benefit of all to enjoy and learn through its unique maritime heritage. The Tall Ship is based next to the Riverside Museum, which our Porridge & Play Cranhill and Castlemilk Hubs visited - you can read more about that here! Licketyspit love playing at the Tall Ship! We've had lots of fun when we have done other Picnic & Plays there too. Both the Museum and Ship are completely free to visit and would love to have you come again!  Picnic & Play at The Tallship [...]

Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to provide such amazing experiences for our children & families, and to all our Storyplay Champions! We went on a Canal Boat adventure with the Forth & Clyde Canal Boat Society! The Forth and Clyde Canal Society was formed by a group of canal enthusiasts who felt that the decline in the canals of Scotland in the 1960s had to be reversed. They believe the canals are monuments to our industrial past and that they could be put to use in the future for the benefit of local communities and they could see that the decline in the canals needed to be highlighted to local and national authorities. After the completion of their main goal to have the canals fully reinstated for public use, they continue to support, promote and use the Canal in various ways! We helped support this by chartering a boat and taking a grand adventure which you can read all about in this blog!!  Picnic & Play on a Canal [...]

There he stumbled onto the power of holistic community healing, music and sound therapy and traditional medicine. Years later at 257 London road Glasgow, the Dream Machine are using creative technologies to provide a unique space where anyone can leave their day-to-day reality at the door without traveling halfway around the world. The Dream Machine has many more voyages ahead and they'd love you to join! We had an incredibly busy Picnic & Play at the Dream Machine with 58 people in February 2020!

Located at the junction of the Rivers Kelvin and Clyde, it houses the city’s fabulous transport and technology collections, which have been gathered over the centuries and which reflect the important part Glasgow has played in the world through its contributions to heavy industries like shipbuilding, train manufacturing and engineering. The museum was designed by internationally renowned architect, Dame Zaha Hadid. It opened in 2011 after a four-year build, with over 3,000 objects from the city's world-famous collections displayed inside. Check out our other adventures at the Riverside Museum!
