Celebrating Our Imaginations and Our Pilot Year!!!!

This was our cake for our end of the year celebration! 

We made it!!! The Hornung Imagination Chapter had a year full of creative experiences!  During the last month, we worked on games. From field day games to board games and even Kahoot Review Games, students created a wide assortment of fun games!  Some of the games were displayed and utilized during the Hornung Field Day, which gave the students at Hornung an opportunity to see the creative designs and enjoy the fun!

Students drew faces on water balloons for the baby carrier water balloon obstacle course!

We also had a putt putt golf hole that was used for Field Day! 

We even were able to take over the Imagination Foundation's Instagram Feed.

During our last meeting we had a pizza party and creativity showcase.  Family members joined us for the food, games, and short celebration.  Unfortunately, technology wasn't on our side when the video needed to be played.  Here is the short video I created with some of the highlights from our pilot year!

There are great activities to do with common household items.  I tried to give each child a baggie with the materials cards, but I know some kids snuck out before I was able to give it to them.  If you were one of the families that did not get one, or if you would like to see more, check out Destination Imagination Free Printables. 

It has been a wonderful year of developing imaginations through creative play!  I am so thankful for the help and support of the parents of the Hornung Imagination Chapter, especially Mr. Sroufe and Mrs. Gates!  

The Hornung Imagination Chapter will be having a few events in the summer!  One of the events will include some of our members running a Maker Faire Detroit Booth with the MichEd Maker Connection July 25-26 at the Henry Ford Museum!  Another exciting thing will be adding 100 new chapters across the globe for the 2015-16 school year!!!  If you are interested in learning more about bringing an Imagination Chapter to your area, click here! 

Cheers to creativity, developing future innovators, and allowing kids to do what they do best...play!
