Block 3 Week 4 of Porridge & Play Castlemilk Wednesday 10th August We had so much fun at Porridge & Play Castlemilk this week getting to learn more games for our ALLSCOT Playcards which are launching on Saturday 17th September at our Storyplay Festival! We played a new game shared by Sayeda called the Circle Game! In this game you make a circle out of old clothes or scarves. Everyone but 1 person stands in the circle. You can’t leave the circle and you have to avoid getting tagged by the person outside the circle! The circle gets smaller and smaller the less people that are inside it until everyone is outside the circle! We have taggers and those who are tagged, lots of roles and turn taking and everyone gets to be included! As we all know at Licketyspit, games are best played when [...]

Block 3 Week 2 of Porridge & Play Castlemilk Wednesday 3rd August We enjoyed playing As Big As A House at Porridge & Play Castlemilk today and our Storyplay Champion Michelle said she really liked it! We also discovered that everyone had some fabulous new dance moves in Andre’sDance Warm-up and it felt amazing to give our bodies a good stretch! We were so lucky to find lots of new games as it was the children’s turn to teach us! We were all very excited to play Khadar and Yahey’s ‘Monster’ game, which involved everyone finding a place to hide so they don’t get caught by the monster. Hadir showed us a great circle game called ‘Balls’ where the same amount of balls as participants are placed in the centre on a plate and they all have a number. One by one, each person runs in [...]

Freya did the Crazy Koala who likes to side-cuddle her Mum! Avery showed us the Dancing Zebra! This week we found out about all the fabulous games the Castlemilk mums played when they were kids. Sayeda taught us a great game that she’d played in Pakistan with her friends. 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 [...]

Block 3 Week 1 of Porridge & Play Castlemilk Wednesday 20th July What a lovely afternoon we had for our first session back at Porridge & Play Castlemilk!! 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.” [...]

Thank you to everyone who has partnered with us to provide such amazing experiences for our children & families, and to all our Storyplay Champions!  Picnic & Play at Castlemilk Park!! Wednesday 18th May Magic Map, Magic Map show us the path to CASTLEMILK PARK! Jack’s Magic Map showed us that in fact Emma, Jared & Levi knew the path already and so they took the lead and guided us all from Castlemilk Community Centre to the woods at the heart of Castlemilk Park where we met our new friend, Stuart! It was a lovely afternoon and we merrily walked using Jack’s Magic Map to guide us into the heart of Castlemilk Park. With Jared’s help we were able to find Park Ranger Stuart! Stuart told us to follow him, to be careful with our steps as the woods have bumpy grounds and to keep our eyes and ears at the ready, for the woods do have many creatures and interesting wildlife for everyone to enjoy. Stuart had even set up a wee [...]
