May Book & Cookie Club: Fake Mustache

5/30/2018

Book and Cookie Club is a monthly book discussion that I facilitate. It is geared toward students in 3rd - 5th grade and an adult caregiver. Each month I select a book, we read it, and then we get together to nosh on some delicious cookies while we have Maximum Fun!

Our book for this month was Fake Mustache by Tom Angleberger.

My Devious Plan

I have been desperate to create an escape room and use it in one of my programs. I think escape rooms are incredibly fun and I love how they encourage everyone to work together. I thought that Fake Mustache would be the perfect book to use as inspiration for my very first escape room.

Escape Room Noob

Research

I highly recommend doing as much research as you can before you start the process of creating an escape room from scratch.

Here are the websites & blogs that I referenced when I was creating the escape room:
The Logic Escapes Me
Now Escape
Lock Paper Scissors
Weekend Notes
Instructables
Fundraising Mums

Recommendations

These are the four major things that I wish I would have done a little bit better when I was planning and executing this escape room.

Time: give yourself time to plan your escape room
Think: consider how you will set-up the room & where the clues will go
Test: have a group of people test out your escape room so that you can work out the little kinks
Try: make sure you know how to open the locks (I struggs to open and close that durn rope lock. Yikes!)

Supplies

Computer*
Projector*
BlueTooth speaker*
Boggle*
Lewo Tumbling Tower*
Interoffice envelope*
10 cardstock mustaches (laminated w/ paper clips attached)*
2 hands (laminated with magnets on the back & yarn attached)*
Does It Fart? by Nick Caruso & Dana Rabaiotti*
Slime (I made it from scratch)*
Nose tissue box holder*
Orange crepe streamers
Extendable cord lock
Number/letter lock
Mario tin with ? mark*
- Candy (Jolly Ranchers & Life Savers)
- Sticky hands
Whoopee cushion
Pictures of book characters with mustaches*

Some of the items for the escape room were things that I already owned. I'm going to be 100% honest with you, I am in grad school, I work part time, and I'm married to a teacher. We're not swimming in cash so I definitely designed the clues around things that I had lying around my house. Anything marked with a "*" is something that I either own or was provided by my library.

The whoopee cushion was my timekeeper I let 'er rip to let everyone know that they had 15 and 10 minutes left.

Room Set-Up

Book and Cookie Club is hosted in our children's program room. We have a lot of cabinets where we store our programming supplies. I decided to utilize two of the cabinets for the escape room. I also thought it was important to mark off the things that were NOT part of the escape room. I used orange crepe streamers to block off the areas that weren't part of the escape room to provide a visual reminder in case participants fogot which areas were not part of the game.

There was also the added challenge of everyone being in the room before we began the escape room. I covered up the clues for the escape room with blue table cloths and made sure I had a fun icebreaker activity (mazes) for everyone to do at their seats as we waited for everyone to arrive.

The Story & The 1st Clue

Every escape room has to have a story! I usediFakeText Message and Screen Cast O'Matic to create a text conversation between myself and Fako Mustacho (the evil villain). The B&C Crew watched the video and began the search for their candy!

The hint is located in the the text messages of the video.

Find a lock with numbers
Combination is 4-2-2.

Clue #2: URGENT!

Once participants unlocked the cabinet, there was an interoffice envelope with a yellow note marked “URGENT!!!”

There are hints hidden inside of the memo that led the team to the next major clue: word, blue, hairy, and evil (the boggle game)

There is also a secret clue on the logo of the memo: HNBC (that came in handy later)

Clue #3: EVIL HAIR!

I hid a yellow piece of paper that was slightly poking out from under Boggle.

The yellow piece of paper had a poem that led The Crew to the next clue.

"Finding candy is your wish, use your hands to go and fish. To locate the candy stash - you must catch a mustache!”

The hints in the poem are the words "hands" and "mustache".

Clue #4 -- Catch That 'Stache

Participants used the magnetic hands to pick up all of the mustaches. Each mustache had a number written on the back.

The numbers represented a letter. One of the magnetic hands had a number/letter key that participants used to break the code.

This is the code:
U = 1
12 18 7 26 1 18 11 20 9 11
Answer to the code is: Flatulence

Clue #5-- Does it Fart?

I had a stack of books on a table with the spines facing out. Participants had to find the book Does It Fart? to locate the next clue.

I placed a bookmark on the horse page of Does It Fart that would lead participants to the next clue.

Clue #6 -- The Tower

I taped a picture of a nose on four of the Lewo blocks. I hid them inside of the tower. The kids decided the best strategy was to knock down the tower to find the next clue!

Clue #7 -- It's SNOT funny

I made slime and placed it inside of this amazing tissue box cover that belongs to MLaw (my awesome husband). I hid the next clue inside of the slime/snot. The kids had to stick their hand in the box and pull the clue out of the slime. Squealing noises were made (MWA-HA-HA!)

The clue inside of the slime/snot was a laminated piece of paper that said "I am as pretty as a picture."

Clue #8 -- Picture Perfect

There's nothing funnier than putting mustaches on book characters. I'm not going to lie, putting mustaches on The Berenstain Bears had me giggling uncontrollably.

The characters pictured here are: Harry Potter, Nancy Drew, Berenstain Bears, and Clifford (HNBC).

The Crew really thought long and hard on this one. They came up with some ideas that I hadn't thought of (like counting the number of mustaches on the characters). Ultimately, they figured out that the first letter of each character's name was the first part of the lock combination and then they realized that there were four pictures on the wall, which was the last part of the lock combination.

So, the lock combination was HNBC4.

THEY DID IT!

The Crew solved the escape room in 22 minutes. Each of the kids recieved a cello treat bag for their candy stash and sticky hand. I considered getting mini whoopee cushions, but I decided the sticky hands and sugared up children would be enough of a punishment to the parents in attendance (Sorry! #notsorry #theyhadfun)

Mustache Photo Booth

I created a photo booth and printed off some mustache photo booth props. The kids and parents had a blast taking photos!

I took some photos of my own after Book and Cookie Club was over to celebrate the success of my first escape room!

Family Storytime: Best Furends (Dogs)

5/23/2018

Clipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.

It is no secret to my friends, family, and colleagues that I really, really, really want a doggo. When my parents moved to TX two years ago, they took the family dog with them (check out slideshow at the end of this post to see pictures of said family doggo). To say that I have dog withdrawl is an understatement. I decided that I needed a dog storytime so that I could get a temporary doggo fix.

I assembled the basket for this week. Click here to see the books, action rhymes, songs, etc. that I included in our family storytime basket.

The outline of my family storytime plan can be found here and the lyric sheets that I made to project up on a screen using the document camera can be found here.

THE PLAN

Pre-Storytime Music

These are the songs that we listened to before storytime. If you are interested in checking out these songs, the album cover images have links to Amazon where you can listen to a sample and purchase these great songs!

"Give a Hug"

"The Great Big Dog"

Pre-Storytime Activity: I-Spy Cats & Dogs

Kids love a good I-Spy activity and Next Comes L Blog comes up with the BEST I-Spy activities. They practically have every I-Spy under the sun. I highly recommend checking them out!

Hello Song: We'll Wave Hello Together

We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
We’ll wave hello together,
Because it’s fun to do.

We’ll give a hug together,
We’ll give a hug together,
We’ll give a hug together,
Because it’s kind to do.

We’ll high five together,
We’ll high five together,
We’ll high five together,
Because it’s fun to do.

Letter of The Week: Cc

I introduced the letter of the week by showing everyone the collage on the document camera. I asked participants "What letter is this?" We made the two different sounds that the letter C makes and we made the letter C with our bodies. Then, we talked about the pictures in the collage. We moo'd together for the cow, meowed together for the cat, pretended to eat cotton candy, and shared our favorite crayon color.

Books

Can I Be Your Dog? Is a sweet story about a doggo looking for his forever home. He writes letters to people in the neighborhood asking if they would be willing to adopt him.

Gaston is about two puppies who don't look like the rest of their family members, and learn that it's more important to be who you want to be.

Will You Help Doug Find His Dog? Is a fabulous interactive book that invites everyone to help Doug figure out which dog is his.

Bark, George is an old favorite. George makes the sounds of other animals instead of saying "woof." This is a great interactive book as you can invite participants to make the different animal sounds with you.

Recorded Music

These are the songs that we danced to during storytime. If you are interested in checking out these songs, the album cover images have links to Amazon where you can listen to a sample and purchase these great songs!

"Can You Dance?"

My Dog Rags

I have a dog.
His name is Rags.
He eats so much that his tummy sags,
His ears flip flop
and his tail wig wags.
And when he walks, he goes zig zag.

He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
He goes flip flop, wig wag, zig zag.
I love Rags and he loves me.

If you’re a dog and you know it bark like this, “Woof, Woof!”
If you’re a dog and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you’re a dog and you know it bark like this, “Woof, Woof!”

If you’re a dog and you know it wag your tail, (wag your tail)
If you’re a dog and you know it wag your tail,
If you’re a dog and you know it wag your tail,

If you’re a dog and you know it wag your tail.

Artsy Babies: Dance Day!

5/23/2018

0 Comments

Clipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.

We decided to end our Artsy Babies series with some movement and dance. We taught our participants a choreographed dance routine and had a super fabulously fun dance party under some strobe lights! This was the 4th and final installment of the Artsy Babies program.

This was our first time planning and facilitaing a program like this and we weren't sure what the level of interest would be. We recieved a great deal of positive feedback from caregivers that attended every session. Caregivers mentioned how much they loved the music classes.

If and when we do this series again, we may focus solely on music and movement as we already offer an art program for babies called "Mini Masterpieces."

Overall, this was a really fun program to put together and I am so glad to have had the opportunity to try and offer something new!

Dance Party!

I decided to purchase this awesome Strobe Light from Amazon and I think it was the best $10.00 I have ever spent! It comes with a remote and several different light settings.

Our participants had a blast dancing it out and the lights really added an extra element of fun!

The .GIF to the left is a demonstration of the strobe light and also serves as an accurate representation of how awesome life is at The Lawton Lodge.

*Note: This is the way that we decided to sing the goodbye song:

We wave goodbye like this
We wave goodbye like this
We clap our hands for all our friends
We wave goodbye like this.

Artsy Babies: Musical Instruments Day!

Clipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.

This was our third program in our Artsy Babies series. Week 2 was Art and week 1 was Music and Movement.
This is a new series that we are piloting this spring and so far it has been fairly popular.

Today was musical instrument day for Artsy Babies! We played with bells, rattles, and egg shakers. There was singing, shaking, and ringing!

THE PLAN

Welcome Song: Wake Up Feet

Wake up feet, wake up feet (touch baby’s feet)
Wake up feet and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle baby’s feet)
Wake up feet, wake up feet (touch baby’s feet)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle baby’s feet)

Wake up hands, wake up hands (touch baby’s hands)
Wake up hands and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle baby’s hands)
Wake up hands, wake up hands (touch baby’s hands)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle baby’s hands)

Wake up ears, wake up ears (touch baby’s ears)
Wake up ears and wiggle, wiggle, wiggle (touch & wiggle baby’s ears)
Wake up ears, wake up ears (touch baby’s ears)
Wake up and wiggle in the morning. (wiggle baby’s ears)

Book

We had some of the instruments shown in this book on hand, so we demonstrated the sounds of those instruments as the story was read aloud. We also gave caregivers and babies time to try out the different instruments at the end of the program.

Musical Instrument Activities

Bells

If You're Happy & You Know It

We took an old classic and adapted it.

If you’re happy and you know it
ring your bells.
If you’re happy and you know it
ring your bells.
If you’re happy and you know it
and you really want to show it
If you’re happy and you know it
ring your bells.

Shake Those Bells

"Shake Those Bells"

If you are interested in checking out this song, the album cover is a link to Amazon where you can listen to a sample and purchase it.

Shake Your Bell In the Air

Shake your bell in the air, in the air
Shake your bell in the air, in the air
Shake your bell in the air and hold it right there
Shake your bell in the air, in the air

Shake your bell on the side, on the side
Shake your bell on the side, on the side
Shake your bell on the side as you smile really ride
Shake your bell on the side, on the side

Shake your bell way down low, way down low
Shake your bell way down low, way down low
Shake your bell way down low, then smile and say “hello”
Shake your bell way down low, way down low

Rattles

Shake!

"Shake!"

Egg Shakers

Going to Kentucky

I was going to Kentucky
Going to the fair
to see the senorita with the flower in her hair
Oh shake it, shake it, shake it
Shake it if you can
Shake it like a milkshake
And do the best you can
Oh wobble to the bottom
and wobble to the top
And turn around and turn around
until you make a stop.

Shake Your Shakers

Shake your shakers in the air
Shake it here, shake it there
Shake your shakers in the air
Shake your shakers.

Shake it high and shake it low
Shake it yes, shake it no
Shake it high and shake it low
Shake your shakers

Shake it up and shake it down
Shake your shaker on the ground
Shake it up and shake it down
Shake your shakers

Shake it fast and shake it slow
Shake it stop, shake it go
Shake it fast and shake it slow
Shake your shaker

I Know A Chicken

Family Storytime: Moms

5/12/2018

0 Comments

Clipart by Krista Wallden of Clipart by Krista Wallden of Creative Clips. Graphic designed on PicMonkey.

As I was growing up I had several maternal figures in my life that read to me, loved me, and cared for me. Some of those incredible women are still part of my life and a small few have passed away. I am grateful to have had countless instances in which I was shown unconditional love by a maternal figure.

When I was looking through the basket of books for this week, I reflected on all of the different maternal figures that exist in the world and I wanted to provide a storytime in which they were included and celebrated.

Click here to see the outline from today's storytime.

THE PLAN

Pre-Storytime Activity: Words of Kindness

I cut out paper flowers using our Ellison machine. I wrote a word on each flower that could describe a caregiver, mom, aunt, grandmother, etc. I deliberately did not write words like "beautiful" or "pretty" on the flowers because I wanted the focus to be on traits that often go unnoticed about women - i.e.: brave, artistic, adventurous, entrepreneur, etc.. If you are curious to see the full list, it is on page 8 of my outline.

I hung the flowers in different parts of the meeting room where storytime is held and encouraged participants to look for a word that describes their caregiver or someone very special to them. I also had some blank flowers that participants could take home, write on, and share.

Pre-Storytime Music

"My Family"

"Give a Hug"

Welcome Song

Letter of the Week: Mm

To introduce the Letter of the Week, I ask participants what they think the letter of the week is. We practice making the sound of that letter and then we practice "drawing" the letter. Today, I had caregivers trace the letter M on their child's back and had the children draw the letter M on the carpeting. #DoubleSensoryInput #Yas

After we "drew" the Letter of the Week, we went through the collage and talked about the items on the collage.

"Can You Dance?"

"Mr. Eric's Jumping Song"

"If You're Happy and You Know It"

Books

I wanted to share books that depicted female caregivers and children doing every day things together.

Bee-bim Bop! is a wonderful story about a young girl cooking with her family.

I Will Love You has a lovely message about the unconditional love that caregivers have.

My Mother's Sari is a story about a young girl and all the ways she loves, plays with, and uses her mother's sari.

I wanted to add in a book about aunts. There are not a ton of aunt books out there in the world. As an auntie, I wish there were more! What Aunts Do Best was a quick read that talks about all of the ways aunts spoil their nieces and nephews.
