The PTO at our school supplies cases of hugs for all classrooms, and parents send in treats. Some classes play games, some watch movies, and some just eat their goodies and chat.
Well, last year I did gingerbread parties and a polar express party. This year I am doing a breakfast party and the other is a cookie decorating party. I am cutting out cookies and baking them tonight. parents sent in icing, sprinkles, M & M's and things like that for decorations, and we are having milk and cookies and watching a movie. They are first grade. The breakfast one is 3rd and we are doing red and green pancakes, bacon and sausage, muffins, donuts, hot chocolate, milk, juice. The polar express was fun, we did hot choclate and wore pj's. Some classes are doing pizza parties.
We usually have treats and drinks then play games. Games: Pin the nose on the Santa/reindeer, gift wrapping relay, bingo, musical chairs. Some room parents bring items to make a craft.
