Felt and Ribbon Bookmarks for Mothers Day
Cut a length of ribbon for each bookmark and glue it down the centre of the bookmark, so that it extends 5cm beyond the end of the felt. Cut a heart shape out of matching or contrasting felt to cover the top of the ribbon. Stick the heart to the bookmark and embellish further as you like. Remember that you want the main part of the bookmark to be flat so keep decorations to the top portion! Allow to dry thoroughly.

And some other games ….
Fisherman
All the girls (who are salmon) stand at one of the play area except for the person who is the "Fisherman". The Fisherman stands at the opposite end of the playing area to the group. When the Fisherman calls "Fisherman" all the Salmon (i.e. the group of girls) have to get to the other side of the playing area without being tagged by the Fisherman. If they are tagged, they must stop where they were tagged and they become Seaweed. Seaweed can reach out and catch Salmon that run past them but Seaweed cannot move their feet. This continues until only one girl is left.
Snake's Tail
You need more than five people to play this game. Everyone forms a long line, each person holds the person in front around the waist. The person at the front of the snake (the head) then tries to catch the person at the end (the tail).
Sticky Pop-corn
One girl is chosen to be "it". All the other girls move while jumping up and down as they are pop-corn. "It" also jumps up and down while she moves and tries to tag someone. If "it" tags someone, they become stuck to and the two "its" have to move around and continue to tag others into one big ball of sticky pop-corn. The game is over when all but one girl is included in big pop-corn ball of 'its'.
