Traditional Japanese Games
Age(s) 11 – Adult
When you think about other countries, do you ever wonder what games and toys they play with? There are lots of games and toys that are similar around the world, but every place has their own unique games. Learn about traditional Japanese games and toys from Mika of the Japanese Outreach Initiative and give one a try! This program is for teens and adults ages 11 and older, registration is required and opens February 18th.
Reader's Theater
Age(s) 7 – 11
Reader's Theater is a fun activity where kids read a story aloud, but instead of acting out the whole play, they only read the parts of the characters. There are no costumes or sets, just the voices and sometimes simple movements. The focus is on reading with expression and understanding the story through the words. Kids in grades 2 through 5 will be reading from the script, so there is no need to memorize lines. Register beginning Mar. 6.
10 a.m.: Meet to get their character/role and practice
11 a.m.: Snack Break
11:30 a.m.: Performance for family & friends
Possible stories include:
The Day the Crayons Quit
by Drew Daywalt
The Mitten by Jan Brett
The Three Billy Goats Gruff
