Postcard from Ottawa

Hi readers,

Look what I got in the mail!

It’s a postcard from a chickaDEE reader named Aryana. She told me all about her trip to Ottawa this summer. Here’s what she thought of Canada’s capital city:

“I’m visiting the Parliament Buildings in Ottawa. It’s an amazing city. I’ve learned so much in the past two days.”

Thanks for sharing, Aryana!

Get Outside!

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,

Game Challenge!

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,
