Lucie Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 hi guys, im thinking of themes to do for one off days at the holiday club, im trying to think of ones which will be new and exciting for the children; i've thought of doing a character day (fav. character dress up, read story, watch programme etc) and also an in the garden day (making scarecrows, having a picnic, gardening, making flowers, water games, den building) and i thought of doing a chinese day with all the regular bits and peices. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The children are 3-14yrs. Anything would be greatly appreciated, we need to make an impact on new children to make them regular users, and current users to encourage them to stay, and use the provision regularly. Thanks for all your help!! laura xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 27, 2006 Share Posted June 27, 2006 Pirates is always a popular one with boys and girls from tinies to oldies - especially with the release of Pirates of the Carribean 2 happening soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all your help!! laura xx We had a fancy dress day of favourite characters for world book day. Everyone brought their favourite story and we talked about why we liked them and shared the books in secret storytelling areas around the unit.
