Seasonal family fun & Macaroni Kid:

1. Back to School Bash

We had a blast at our local Back-to-School-Bash hosted by Macaroni Kid Lafayette LA! Grandmothers, parents, teens, tweens, preschoolers, and children of all ages participated and had so much fun. We had so much fun for our entire family, and we have three generations! My daughter is in CYT (Christian Youth Theatre) and was performing as Disney’s Merida with a few others at a Back-to-School-Bash in our city’s mall. I asked around to find out who coordinated this amazing event, I had never seen so many people at our mall. Macaroni Kid Lafayette LA hosted this event and many more throughout the year, all family friendly and many free events across the nation! Our local chapter of Macaroni Kid put this big event on and wow was there a huge turnout & so many free fun activities!

Hug a Friend or a Coke:

One grandmother got a big kick out of kids hugging a Coca-Cola machine to get a free coke. I’ll admit, it was hilarious and quite a surprise when a coke would roll out after you hugged the machine!

Hug a Friend… or a Coca-Cola machine & get something FUN in return!

JUDO Self Defense:

Judo for all ages — Wow, Judo self defense for all ages is awesome!

An aunt was challenged to do Judo by her nephew and of course, had to take the plunge! Luckily, the Judo instructor was excellent and the aunt really enjoyed throwing him down. Then all the nieces, nephews, and even the aunt joined in the fun to throw down this Judo instructor, one at a time of course. Fun for all ages & a great self defense option! (and no, that’s not me in the picture;)

Interactive Games:

The kids seemed to really enjoy all the games at all the booths and winning prizes:

bean bag toss & bucket toss for prizes
Judo self defense
face painting
Escape Room display
honking the horn on the kid-friendly train
spin the wheel to get a prize
coloring pages
hand squeezed lemonade

All of the activities were free!! Talk about a good deal for an afternoon of entertainment for the entire family! Macaroni Kid features free family events all year long.
