Kids of all ages (3 - 93) will have a grand time doing traditional Finnish song games! If you can walk, you can join in the fun, and the more the merrier! Get a Finnish name, learn a few Finnish words, make a mehupilli (Finnish straw whistle), join in the song games like pukki (goat) or BINGO (the singing game, not the number/board game). Learn a few simple folk dances and end the evening with an enchanting Nordic chain dance. Refreshments provided. Bring the family, bring grandma. A good time will be had by all!
