  1. In thinking of ideas, please keep in mind that some of the local Bulgarians here in Cincinnati have agreed to help with activities on Saturday if there is interest. So, if you'd like a Bulgarian dance lesson, Bulgarian storytelling around the fire, a Bulgarian language activity or a Bulgarian song for the children to learn, let us know.

  2. What about some kind of scavenger hunt. Could include most age groups (younger kids with help) and we could incorporate things that are Bulgarian.

  3. Viviane, I won't be there this year but if I was I think the idea of learning a bulgarian song and dance is awesome. Maybe song for all ages and the dance could be for the older kids 4 and older. Musical chairs is an idea too, played with Bulgarian music. For the 1-6 age group a puppet show telling a Bulgarian story of some sort. The 1-3 age group wont sit very long and they don't have a very long attention span. I think a treasure hunt is also a good idea. Hide things Bulgarian that have meaning and explain the meanings.Take photos I would love to see them. Thanks for doing this.
