Can people give me ideas of good children's activities for all ages?  It is a long day to keep kids engaged and I would love to hear some success stories of what really worked.

Thanks

Hula hoops, jump ropes, tug of war, hide and seek, hopscotch, hit the stick and other easy games amuse children for hours. We are doing our build in two weeks and have worked in an activity for the children that will take most of the day for them to do. We are installing a privacy fence to go around the existing basketball court. It's approximately 150' of fence. We have a local Team Depot artist who will prime the panels and draw the needed stencils on each. During the build, the children will be in a roped off area away from the construction, painting the fence panels. We figure that by the time the kids finish, the remaining park items should be in place leaving the actual fence panels as the final installations for the day.

You can see if someone will donate 6X6 tiles that the kids can put their hand prints on. Once sealed, you can created a border on a concrete wall, take a piece of plywood to create a commemorative wall, or something along that idea which will give the children their contribution to the park.

Hope that helps.
