Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

Kids will learn about type types of games that are played around the world. They will also be able to practice their own skills with a variety of toys such as juggling, hula hoops, juggling sticks, ball and cup game and yo-yos. Anecdotal responses will be collected.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The kids were very attentive during the presentation portion of the program. They asked good questions related to the toys that were demonstrated. All of the parents who were there thanked us for having the program and said how much they enjoyed it. Since the program, we have had a student come and ask about other performances Mr. Fun is doing in the area and we told him about the programs that were scheduled in August.
