How to Tie Dye T-Shirts.

Materials to make

a Tie-Dye T-Shirt

Plain white t-shirt

Dye bucket scissors

Elastic bands

(string)

dye mixture

gloves

STEP 2: Tie your pattern

You can make different patterns.

A swirl pattern

You can fold the T-shirts in various ways to make lots of different patterns

It is brilliant when you see the lovely patterns you have made on your T-Shirt.

Remember that the darker and more defined you would like your pattern,

the tighter your ‘ties’ should be. Tie your shirt as tight as possible for the

best effect

14

STEP 3: Dye your shirt

Remember that we are working with dye ~ it will stain.

Mix dye with water in bucket following instructions on the

packet.

Put your tied T-shirt into the bucket making sure it is

completely covered/submerged by the water/dye.

Your shirts will be left in the dye bucket for approximately

40 – 50 minutes. You should not take it out before this

time as the dye needs a soaking time. Please continue

with the task 3 while you wait.

STEP 4: Rinsing your shirt

Rinse your shirt out under cold running water.

STEP 5: Reveal your pattern

This is the really exciting bit … you get to finally see your design. Carefully

cut the elastic bands/string ~ take care not to cut the shirt . Keep your

work area neat and tidy. Remember that the dye will stain, even though it

has been rinsed out.

STEP 6: Admire and show-off your work

STEP 7: Washing your T-Shirt

Read this very carefully. Hand wash it first in soap powder. Do not under

any circumstances put the shirt in with other washing for the first few

washes as the dye will most certainly run and stain other shirts. Check first

with your parents/carers & staff before washing the shirt in the washing

machine!

You have been warned!

(Written by Carole King)

When you're down and troubled, and you need a

helping hand

And nothing, nothing is going right

Close your eyes and think of me and soon I will be

there

To brighten up even your darkest night.

You just call out my name and you know wherever I

am

I'll come running, to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall all you have to do is

call

And I'll be there yes, I will you've got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds

And that old north wind begins to blow

Keep your head together and call my name out loud

Soon I’ll be knocking on your door, You just call out

my name.You just call out my name and you know

wherever I am

I'll come running, to see you again.

Winter, spring, summer or fall all you have to do is

call

And I'll be there yes, I will you've got a friend

You’ve Got A Friend

31

(from Aladdin 2019 – Written by Pasek and Paul)

Here comes a wave meant to wash me away. A tide

that is taking me under. Swallowing sand left with

nothing to say, my voice drowned out in the thunder.

But I won't cry, and I won't start to crumble,

whenever they try to shut me or cut me down.

I won't be silenced, you can't keep me quiet, won't

tremble when you try it. All I know is I won't go

speechless. 'Cos I'll breathe when they try to

suffocate me, don't you underestimate me. 'Cos I

know that I won't go speechless.

Written in stone every rule, every word, centuries old

and unbending. Stay in your place better seen and

not heard but now that story is ending. 'Cos I, I

cannot start to crumble, so come on and try, try to

shut me and cut me down.

I won't be silenced, you can't keep me quiet, won't

tremble when you try it. All I know is I won't go

speechless.

'Cos I'll breathe when they try to suffocate me,

don't you underestimate me. 'Cos I know that I won't

go speechless.

(Written by Mike Chapman and Holly Knight)

I call you when I need you, my heart's on fireYou come to me, come to me wild and wired.Oh, you come to me, give me everything I need.Give me a lifetime of promises and a world of dreams.Speak the language of love like you know what it means.Mm, and it can't be wrong, take my heart and make it strong, babe.You're simply the best, better than all the rest.Better than anyone, anyone I ever met.I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you say.Tear us apart, baby, I would rather be dead.Each time you leave me I start losing control;You're walking away with my heart and my soul.I can feel you even when I'm alone.Oh, baby, don't let go.

You're simply the best, better than all the rest.Better than anyone, anyone I ever met.I'm stuck on your heart, I hang on every word you sayTear us apart, baby, I would rather be dead. We’re simply the best!

Making your own skittles is easy and you will end up with a game that you can all enjoy.

You will need:

Plastic drinks bottles Sand to weight the bottle down (water will work) Kitchen funnel (or make one with a cone of paper) PVA (white glue) Acrylic paints and paintbrushes Ball to play

Instructions:

Collect together a number of plastic drinks bottles, preferably of the same size and shape.

Using your funnel, fill each bottle about one third full of sand, earth (dirt) or other weighty material. Now paint around the top of the bottle with the glue and screw the lids on tightly.

Paint your skittles, adding numbers if you wish to allow the possibility of a scoring game, or decide how many points you are going to award for each skittle you knock down.

if you do not have acrylic paint and glue you can just use the plastic bottles and fill them with water. You could just add a splash of food colouring or paint to the water to jazz them up. You can vary the amount of water in the bottles, to make the skittles easier or harder to knock down.

Now line up your skittles, grab your ball and have fun!

38

Making your own Hoopla game is fun and you will end up with a game that you can all play.

You will need: Paper plates scissors Cardboard tube or plastic bottles cellotape Crayons, felts or paint Instructions: Cut the centre from some paper plates to use as your 'rings'.

To make the stand, cut 6 small slits in the bottom of the cardboard tube and flatten the ends, then tape it to the reverse side of a plate so it will stand up.

Decorate your rings and you can also decorate your cardboard tube with crayon’s felt or paint.

Instead of the cardboard tube, you can use plastic bottles for the stands, fill them with water. You could just add a splash of food colouring or paint to the water to jazz them up.

This game works great if you are throwing from close range, but if you want the rings to be thrown from a decent distance the paper plates are not heavy enough. You will need to glue several plates together and wrap the rings in coloured string.

Now grab your hoops and have fun.

39

Materials: 10 Paper plates, coloured felt pens and string or chalk.

Paper plates Noughts and Crosses is a great game to play outside

if it’s a sunny day, but it can work just as well playing on the floor

indoors if it’s a bit rainy! Have fun collecting the materials needed,

and get set to create your very own super sized noughts and

crosses game!

Gather your paper plates and use coloured felt pens or paints to

mark five of the paper plates with crosses and five of the paper

plates with noughts.

Use string to mark out your grid on the grass or alternatively you

can use chalk if you are on a hard service. (If indoors use string).

Make sure each square is big enough for one paper plate to fit

inside.

All that is left to do is challenge another player to a game! The first

player to get a row of three is the winner!

Now you are ready to play!
