After school program activity ideas?

Question

I need some ideas for my after school program. My kid range in age from 5 years- 10 years. I have 10 boys and 6 girls. Sports seem to be a big hit with the boys, but not so much with the young ladies. Any ideas? I need something that will entertain them, but without getting too loud and crazy. Any suggestions would help!!

Answer 1

Arts and crafts will do the trick. You can bring crayons, paint, markers, clay, playdough, and colored pencils. You can also bring Disney movies such as Finding Nemo and Cinderella. Also let your children play outside. You can bring jumpropes and soccer balls. Bring storybooks and coloring books too.

Answer 2

boys can play sports and the girls can be the cheerleaders. That way its one practice but they do different things.
