I taught a March Break class at the Peterborough Museum & Archives Friday March 16th, it was called "Let's Play". Make a board game like Monopoly or get creative and come up with your own rules.  Use wood or board, dice and create your own playing pieces.  Challenge your senses with momory, smell, and sound guessing games.  Make a speedy spinner, ring toss, hoop ring, relay races and a fishing game.  Then bring them all home to play with your friends!

Here are some photos of the creative kids and their crafts.
