Rainy days can really be a drag.
'Life. Be in it' NT know there's a better way, so here are some activities to fill your rainy day!
Bear Hunt
Create an obstacle course using pillows, chairs, tables and other household items. Make your way throught the obstacle course while chanting:
"We're going on a bear hunt, we're gonna catch a big one, we're not scared, we're not scared, What a beautiful day, but wait, what's that? A giant river, we can't go over it, we can't go under it, we have to swim through it. Swim, swim, swim, swim."
Repeat a couple of times changing the giant river to other obstacles such as a dirt mound or dark cave etc.
Speed Dressing
Get a group of people, a whole lot of clothing and a dice. Spread the items of clothing out acoss the playing area. Players take it in turn to roll the dice, if they get a six they race around tryin to put on as many pieces of clothing on as possible until the next 6 is rolled.
The player with the most clothing on at the end wins!
Recycled Fashion Show
Gather a bunch of recycled materials such as bottle tops, paper, plastic bags etc. Set a time limit and get creative, making clothing items, dresses and bracelets for example.
Once time is up have fashion parade and let everyone model their outfit, voting on the most creative and best dressed.
