This past Sunday we had the next installment of Kermes – Valentine’s Day style. This time around we decided to split up Kermes and have 3 separate events, one for the baby’s house and especiales, one for the older kids, and one for the kids in the middle. I worked with the older kids where our games/activities included: battle of the songs, a trivia game about St. Valentine’s Day, “Hug-it-out” (where the kids had to run while hugging their partner and sporting a balloon between them), and my station – decorating valentines :).

Ok, so our station wasn’t so much decorating valentines as it was an “apology station.” The arts and crafts table was there so that the kids could say whatever they wanted to their friends without it being “uncool” or “lame” or “dorky.” A lot of the kids wrote to their friends about how they were glad they were such good friends, or apologizing for something they had done wrong in the past. It turned out to be a really great way for the kids to express themselves (and a lot of fun for me and my roommate to get to watch the kids go CrAzY over gluing little hearts onto pieces of paper…) A good part? Cookies dipped in chocolate for refa! The best part? When asked what the kids thought about Kermes they said it was the best one they’d seen in a long time :)
