Sports Saturday: Scavenger Hunt

It is hard to believe it has been over a week since our last post.  momstown Winnipeg has had a fun-filled calendar including our monthly Junior Chefs meeting, Alphabet play at Indigio, new Mamas Meet and Greet, Baby Sensory play, Tales 4 Tots, and moms only Book Club and Supper Club.  We ended our week with a St. Patrick’s Day Scavenger Hunt.

Unseasonably warm temperatures on St. Patrick’s Day had 12 families ready to play and run to follow the rainbow to Mr. Leprechaun’s pot of gold.  We gathered the children for a short story, written by yours truly, and then we were off to find our first leprechaun dressed in red.  

The leprechaun dressed in red offered us a clue to lead us to the leprechaun dressed in orange.  We continued until we found the purple leprechaun who was guarding the pot of gold. 

Once all the children were gathered, we read our final message from Mr. Leprechaun and enjoyed our treasures.  

The kids and parents alike had a fabulous time running around the park at Lindenwoods Community Center.

We had a fabulous time today!!!  Thanks for coming over.
