Then we played a game with pennies- since Abraham Lincoln is on the penny- I had a bowlful of loose change- and threw in some dry beans for variety. Then we blindfolded 1 boy- and had them stir through the bowl. The object was to find as many pennies as they could in 30 seconds. But if they pulled out quarters, nickels or dimes- it subtracted from their total. So if they found 5 pennies and 2 quarters- they got 3 points- 5-2=3. I think they all had fun. The we did our notebook pages- some simple pages- the first one they write what about Abraham Lincoln inspires them, and what qualities they admire. The 2nd page- they draw a picture of their favorite part of the story- and the last page is just a timeline of his life.
Next month is George Washington Carver- so we're playing some games with peanuts, and planting seeds- maybe we'll plant peanuts- lol.
I think our Boy's Club is a hit. I'm tossing around the idea of doing something with Chronicles of Narnia for next year's club. Any ideas to go along with that?
