Mexican Waves And Bouncy Castles

<<< Previous Entry: Holiday Clubs and Ephalmups | This Month's entries | Next Entry: Good Friday >>

I want a bouncy castle.
Once again I'm truely shattered after more hard holiday club stuff, so I can't be bothered to write much, but I will give you something far more valuable than my meanderings.

How To Make Juggling Balls For 40ish Kids


You'll need

  • 120 sandwich bags
  • 360 medium sized ballons
  • Approx 12kgs of rice
  • Scissors

Prepartion

Take one sandwich bag, poor approx. 100 grams of rice into bag. Tilt bag so rice goes into one corner, then push air out. Tie a not in bag and cut off the end. Repeat x120.
Activity

Give each kid 3 sandwich-bags-o-rice, 9 ballons of different colours, and one pair of scissors. Instruct kids to
  1. Cut off the end of one ballon.
  2. pull ballon over sandwich bag (may require adult supervision)
  3. Cut off end and make slits in second ballon
  4. Pull ballon over sandwich bag and first ballon
  5. Repeat processes 3 & 4
  6. Repeat steps 1-5 twice more
  7. Attempt to juggle

And here's one I made later after everyone had gone home...

The End

I thought that top line said "I want a bouncy castle again". Maybe I thought you were the type of guy who would have owned one or maybe several bouncy castles before and so added the word 'again' without realising.

Or maybe im just stupid...

Those juggling balls look ace!

I also want a bouncy castle :/

I've decided to volunteer to help with any kind of disco/dance held at my church, as they always seem to have bouncy castles... but that's not the only reason, I help out of the goodness of my heart of course...

*cough*

I hate IE 5. And Opera 6. *grumble*

Mwahahahaha Opera 6 is still like 10 million times better than IE 5.0, plus if you're smart enough to use a Opera you're smart enough to upgrade it when a new version comes out

I'd also like to confirm that I've never owned any bouncy castles nor been related to anyone that has. I once helped hire a bouncy castle, but that was for a legitimate reason. No really.
