101. Planning. and. Doing. Celebrations. Help your Fives take the lead in
planning celebrations that will be happening in your program. Discuss with the
whole group the kinds of things they want to do to celebrate. Then help children
take part in smaller discussion groups where they get together to plan and
prepare the food, decorations, and activities they want. You decided that we need
people to plan food, decorations, and games. Who would like to be in the food
group? Great.
