Sky News's "33 things to do before age 10"
yes! — 5 years ago
I did ALL of these things as a child! (although, i think i did one or two as an 11 year old.)
I suggest adding:
go ice blocking (sliding down a big hill on a chunk of ice)
go skating and have hot chocolate after
get in a snowball fight
skip a stone on a lake
learn to swim (very important!)
tip over a canoe through rambunctiousness (this will not make adults very happy, however!)
sword fight with sticks
rule a kingdom/queendom
play with your imaginary friend
compete in your library’s summer reading contest
do science experiments, or as in my case they should have been properly called, “science experiments”
have creative, cultural experiences: participate in or see a play, dance, concert, art, photography, fashion show, and so on
ahhh, all this has reminded me of wonderful things in my childhood!
