Meghan’s Back-to-School Jump Rope Chant


I love back-to-school time because I get to see all my friends. And I think God was super clever when he made back-to-school friends all so very much alike AND so very much different. That makes life in the classroom even more interesting!

Here is a fun new jump rope chant I made up for you to do with your very much alike and very much different school friends at recess time. It's so very much kangaroo bouncy (which may be the most interesting part of all)!

Meghan Rose Back-to-School Jump Rope Chant

“B-A”, “C-K”, back to school!
At which subject will I rule?
Math, reading, science, art,
Gym, history, all-around smart?
Math, reading, science, art…
(Keep repeating the subjects in order until you miss. The one you miss on is the subject you rule!)

Meghan’s Hold-on-to-Summer Mini-popsicles


One sad thing about going back to school is saying goodbye to summer. But I figured out a way to hold on to a little bit of summer with these yummy mini-popsicles that you can make yourself. You need:

An An ice cube tray
Plastic wrap
Toothpicks
Your favorite fruit juice

  1. Fill the ice cube tray with your favorite fruit juice. (Pop works too.)
  2. Cover the tray tightly with plastic wrap. (If you leave off the plastic, your toothpicks will fall over and look silly.)
  3. Stick a toothpick in the center of each cube. It will pierce the plastic. (If you have trouble keeping the plastic still, tape it down.)
  4. Put the tray into the freezer. (Be careful not to spill!)
  5. When the juice freezes, take off the plastic and lift the juice cube by the toothpick. Eat it up! (Yum!)
