Suggestions for running Kids Club Country & Western Day

Step 1:

Start the day off with doing some Wild West Scene colouring in activities. If any kids did not have a costume to wear then they could during this time make some costume pieces to wear like paper cowboy hat, sheriffs’ badge etc.

Step 2:

Get a big piece of cardboard and create a “Wanted” poster photo prop where kids can stick theirs heads in with costumes and take some great photo’s

Step 3:

Refer to YouTube for basic line dancing lessons for kids/beginners and run a dance lesson with some country music and line dancing so kids can do their dancing dressing up in theme while listening to some fun country songs like “Achy Breaky Heart”

Step 4:

Outside set up a picnic area for lunch with all the Wild West games in this package to be played. In addition to these games here are some other games/ideas you could add but please note that the extra items/props required for these games are not included:

·       Organise a gumboot throwing competition.

·       Organise Sack races (or maybe old pillowcases).

·       Organise a Tug O War competition.

·       Organise egg & spoon races.

Step 5:

Finish the day with a kid friendly Country and Western Movie. The movie “Rango” is a good kids animated Western that kids of all ages would enjoy.
