Dozens of families throughout the Alle-Kiski Valley flocked to the All Kids Are Special Childcare and Learning Center in New Kensington for its annual Dr. Seuss Family Engagement Night.
Part of this month’s Read Across America celebration, preschoolers and toddlers, accompanied by their parents, participated in a variety of games based on works from the iconic children’s book author.
Activities included pin the tie on “The Cat in the Hat” and a ball toss into the cat’s hat. There was a stacking game based on “Yertle the Turtle” and a counting game based on “One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish.”
Center director Cheryl Rometo-Gartley said there were 186 people, including children and parents, who signed up to participate. About 15 staffers ran the games.
She said it was their largest crowd in at least the past decade.
Families received a games checklist when they signed in. Those who played all the games turned the checklist in for a chance at gift baskets.
Children received paper hats with their names on them as well as prizes from some of the games. Popcorn and beverages were also provided.
