Miss Mother May I...?
Miss Mother May I...?
Follow this link for directions on how to play Miss Mother May I with family and friends this summer. You will need a large space (a park or a yard!) and people - that's it!
https://www.wikihow.com/Play-%22Mother-May-I%22
The goal of the Mother May I game is for the children to reach the mother first on the other side of the room, lawn or field. Whichever child reaches the mother first wins the game and then, in turn, is designated as the mother, and the game starts all over again.

Smores Sticks
No campfire? No problem!
Ingredients:
Marshmallows
Sticks
Chocolate
Graham Crackers
Directions:
Place the marshmallows on a stick of your choosing - straws or bamboo skewers work great!
Crush the graham crackers. Place some graham crackers in a zipper bag and get to crushing. Fingers work well, as does banging a plastic hammer!
Melt the chocolate. Place some chocolate chips into a microwave-safe cup, add a dash of milk, and then microwave it all for about 20 seconds. Stir it all up until it’s smooth.
Now it’s time for dipping! Grab a marshmallow-on-a-stick and dip it into the chocolate. Let some of the excess chocolate drip off, then dip it into graham cracker crumbs.
Enjoy!
