Family Game Night 2024

Family Game Night 2024

It's our favorite night of the year when our learners bring their families to school to play games and learn new ways to have fun with learning at home. In each hallway, four or five classrooms host games that test skills of agility, balance, and often luck. This year families competed against each other in Mini Golf, Cookie Face, Rolling for Points, Bean Bag Toss, Dice Stacking, Egg Bouncing, Ring Toss, Cheerios, and Bolts and Nuts. We also had fun learning and beating our parents in math games, sight word games, OREO writing, balance point, comprehension strategies and juggling.  Each win earned a ticket for a chance to win a prize of your choice.  The cafeteria had three tables of prizes including legos, art supplies, games, science kits, book series, puzzles, and balls. Learners could also win an estimation prize if they guessed the right number of licorice, eraser pets, legos, or Twix minis. The PTA also had a drawing for a basket of amazing things. This night would not be possible without a lot of help. We would like to extend a BIG THANK YOU to Mrs. Balmer, all of our amazing staff, Indian Hills Elementary Schoolwide Title 1: Family Engagement, United Way, Idaho PTA, Kevin Robbins, Idaho State University Ambassadors, Golf Team and Benny the Tiger, and National Honor Society Students from Pocatello and Century High Schools. It was an amazing night because of all our helpers and our families who came to have fun!
