I love the bike one -- we never did that. One of the criteria was always that you got no money to spend on the activity so it was always quite a challenge. I guess my most popular one was making your own paper. My dad helped me make the paper frames from picture frames from the thrift store and screen from old windows and I had them after I retired until I sold my house and move south! <br />Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-57248821783900842992017-03-10T07:47:41.287-07:002017-03-10T07:47:41.287-07:00My Granddaughter always played games, treasure hun...My Granddaughter always played games, treasure hunts she made up for her friends. Even today. She teaches Grade 2,4,6,7,8. Main subject French. And she adores her students. They love her. They always ask her. Your just out of University and your teaching us. Your so young. Why did you chose to teach us. You could have enjoyed better things to take as a career. I knew since she was a wee child. She will be a teacher. Dreams do come true. So you telling us your adventures of being a teacher. Like William said . You have never really left teaching behind. I agree. I am glad. As your posts are so interesting that you tell. Never stop telling. I would of loved to be in your class back then. As I loved all that you share. And my dads camera borrowed for bird hunting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-89974445130289468122017-03-09T23:13:36.823-07:002017-03-09T23:13:36.823-07:00Well, as the old ad/commercial for the hair produc...Well, as the old ad/commercial for the hair product Brylcreem used to say..."If you're onto a good thing, stick to it!" :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-81922411128220100662017-03-09T14:29:26.998-07:002017-03-09T14:29:26.998-07:00you realize what works!!you realize what works!!Taborhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15257045780724471840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-84211960924888737872017-03-09T04:39:26.617-07:002017-03-09T04:39:26.617-07:00Treasure hunts are always fun.

I bet you really enjoy remembering that, kids can be tiring and frustrating and all of that but their joie de vivre is always a joy.<br /><br />If I thought I had a chance of contributing something interesting to a bird count, I would also love to be involved but the birds around here are limited to a few types.kyliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08964475783207438103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8688207620251526295.post-32101882872295160342017-03-08T21:55:41.748-07:002017-03-08T21:55:41.748-07:00What ever activity that gets kids out and about is...What ever activity that gets kids out and about is a great one!
