Hey readers,
Do you need a fun game to play outside? Try these three fun ideas!
1. WETBALL
Play football with a twist. Use a soapy sponge instead of a ball for a super-wet game.
2. SKIP ROPE CHALLENGE
Get a timer and challenge your friends to a skip rope contest. Who can do the most jumps in 60 seconds?
3. BALLOON RACE
Grab some pals and blow up balloons. Make a start and finish line out of sticks. Then put the balloons between your legs and see who can walk the fastest to the finish line! (Ask your parents for help with the balloons.)
Did you try any of these games? Leave a comment below!
Have a happy weekend,

Hi readers,
I’ve been playing this game called Slime Laboratory and it is so much fun! The object of the game is to get a green slime through a series of obstacles. I love how cute the green slime is with its big googly eyes.
What’s your high score?
Click on the picture to play the game. Remember to ask your parents for permission to play first!
Talk soon,

Hi readers,
Wow, it sure is hot out there. Tomorrow is going to be 38°C (100°F) in Toronto!
I think this hot weather calls for a cool recipe to help you guys beat the heat.
Here’s an icy treat from our Summer 2010 issue. (Remember to ask your parents to help you before you start.)
SUMMER SNOW CONE
You’ll need:
– 125 mL (1/2 cup) ice
– 125 mL (1/2 cup) chopped fruit
– 125 mL (1/2 cup) water
– blender
– cone or cup
What to do:
1. Put ice cubes in blender. Blend ice into small pieces. Set aside in a bowl.
2. Put the fruit and water in a blender. Blend for a few seconds.
3. Stir in the blended ice.
4. Freeze your mixture for at least one hour. Scoop some into a cone or a cup and dig in!
Mmmm, yummy! I think I’ll make one after I finish this post.
