Carnival Snow Cones

It’s day three into our carnival week and we just had to have a special visitor to the school. The Kona Ice truck was a hit for a summer treat! Each child got to make their own snow cone and pick their favorite flavors. It was a blast and we (the teachers got to make one too) It was super hot so this was the perfect idea to tie into our carnival theme.Plus, …who doesn’t like sticky fingers???

The Kona Ice Truck is great for school events, birthday parties, and corporate events. For more information about a Kona Ice Truck near you click below

Luau Activities for the Primary Classroom

It’s Tiki Time and we had a week packed full of Luau activities from Musical Limbo to a hoola dancing contest. The kids had a blast with our Hawaiian themed photo booth and even decided to pose like surfers!

Are you wondering how to make your own Hawaiian Photo Booth? Well here is what you need:

• One dark blue plastic tablecloth and one light blue plastic tablecloth
• One grass skirt, Different colored leis, and luau decorations
• Skim Board or Child’s surf board

Tap up the dark blue tablecloth to the wall and push a small table underneath. Cover the table with the light blue tablecloth and place skim board on top. Have children dress up in Hawaiian clothes and pose on the board. Take their picture. You can add the year and “Aloha” in Microsoft PowerPoint!

Luau Art Activity: Making LeisStart by prepping your materials (colored straws cut into pieces, color flowers cut from a lei, yarn cut in the size of necklaces or bracelets, neon colored beads). Let the kids create their own jewelry to wear for your Luau party. This activity helps with fine motor skills and motor control plus the kids love making anything they can wear!

What is your favorite Luau activity to do with your students?
