I will soon do a Broadway activity. I am going to get an old Broadway musical. I will get some costume jewelry, hats, and bow ties. We will dress like we are going to the theatre. I think this will be fun.

Great idea Sunya. I'm holding our first movie day and was going to create 'ticket stubbs', make popcorn and even have ice-cream on hand. I could add your idea of costume jewellery, hats and bow ties to add to the atmosphere.
