A Celebration in the Garden!

Porridge & Play Cranhill

Find out what the Cranhill  group got up to in their latest Storyplay adventure! 

Week 5 of Porridge & Play Cranhill 2023

Thursday 1st June

It was a beautiful Sunny day for the final session of this Porridge & Play block at Cranhill 

So we spent the whole session in the garden!

We all danced in our circle – and some of us cartwheeled!!

We were BIG as BEARS, FAST as HARES and our BIRDS laid our Giant EGGS!

We flew high above Glasgow with our Balloons (we saw dinosaurs covered in popcorn & waffles!) and above the whole world.

We dressed up as animals – like a Butterfly, a Bison, a unicorn &  2 Giraffes! 

We had an amazing Magic Ball adventure unzipping the ball to find we were in water & we needed to SWIM!

We met Wolfie’s Potato, Banana, Lago, Mila, Amelia, Biscuit, Chocolate and Tough! They all had extraordinary watches and we forest animals needed to know the time! They had us dancing at 1 o’clock and cycling at 5 o’clock but of course we had to listen out and run away when it was DINNER TIME!

We played a magical game all around the Cranhill Ship – sharks and wild octopus tried to catch us! Then we flew back in the Magic Ball for our delicious picnic on our picnic blankets in the sun!

And our amazing Gallery & MAGIC CLAP!

The next time we meet will be for our PICNIC & PLAY TRIP to BALLOCH on Friday 28th July.

(Some families can’t come so we hope they will send us photos of themselves waving to us from where they are!)

The Cranhill Crew are expert Storyplay Champions now so we hope you will carry on playing the Licketyspit games all summer long & share them with your friends!

Remember – children are the world’s PLAY EXPERTS & all we need to play is each other & our imaginations! (& a few old clothes can be a fantastic dressing-up kit!)

Lots of love from us all at Licketyspit!

Taz, Sarah, Steven, Kayla, Virginia, Ruby and of course, your Storyplay Champion Kayla from CDT! xxx
