Is anyone doing activities for Watermelon Day? Just wondering, I've planned a week around it, and wondering about any other ideas. Crafts, cooking, etc.

Here's goes a few ideas for Watermelon.

~Watermelon BINGO-Use you regular cards but cut out black paper and make seeds as the chips.

~Watermelon drinks

~Watermelon shaped candles for the tables or displays

~Watermelon art-Make watermelon shapes and have the prt. cut out the shapes and cloor them or add glitter. I tool red paper and cut oue shapes and then took green paper for the trimming and then glued red glitter ALL over. They came out really nice.

~Watermelon seed spitting contest-HAve eveyone go outside and see whocan spit the seed the farest. They did that where I am and they said the people LOVED it. Then you can eat the watermelon too.

Hope that helps some. Have fun!

We recently did a watermelon day of activities- guess the weight of the watermelon, watermelon products i.e. suckers, gum, scented lotion, scented potpurri (I couldn't believe there is a watermelon scented potpurri either, bought it at Target), cut out watermelon slices from construction paper and wrote facts about watermelon on the back, residents picked a paper watermelon slice and read the fact aloud, and of course lots of watermelon for eating!

I made up a backdrop with watermelon cutouts and then put "You're One in a Melon" The residents each sat in front of it and had their pictures taken. I did this two years ago and there are still pictures on bulletin boards in some rooms. We guessed the weight of a watermelon and the winner got the melon.

I did a watermelon art demonstaration-------I carved the watermelon into a basket and filled it with fruit: watermelon chunks, cantaloupe balls, white, green and red grapes, strawberries, and kiwi. I used decorative picks and let them help themselves. When the group was finished, I made another one and wheeled it up and down the hallway for the ones that couldn't attend. I had printed Watermelon Fact Sheets and we discussed those while I carved the melon.
