Junina Party Activities for early series

We selected in this post several June Party Activities, ready to print and apply to students in the initial grades (Kindergarten and Elementary School) and to work on this commemorative date annually celebrated throughout the country.

O Saint John's day. Or the Day of Free Masonry is celebrated annually in June 24th.

São João is known as the “Santo Festeiro”, and on that day there are many festivals, popularly known as Festas Juninas, celebrations marked by dances and typical dishes.

Some well-known symbols in the celebrations are the bonfire, the mast, the fireworks, the chapel, the straw, the basil, among others.

There are two possible explanations for the origin of the term Festa Junina: because the commemorations took place during the month of June and, according to another theory, it would be a direct tribute to São João. In the beginning, in some European countries, the festivity was called Joanina Party.

June Party Activities – Tug of War

A line on the floor divides the playing field in half and the participants are separated into two equal teams. Each group stands in a line to one side, holding a rope about five meters long. The middle of the rope should be on top of the line drawn on the floor, and when the signal is given, participants pull the rope to their side. The group that manages to make a member of the other group step on the line drawn on the floor wins.

Activities Festa Junina – Fun games for St. John's Day

donkey's ass game

• This game is a lot of fun. We use a donkey drawn from wood or cardboard. The participant must, blindfolded, place the tail on the donkey in the right place. The participant must be rotated a few times to lose the reference.

dropping cans

• Just place several empty cans on a wall. Participants try to drop the cans by throwing balls made out of socks. Whoever drops the most cans wins.

elegant mail

• Play organizers serve as intermediaries in delivering tickets with messages of love, friendship, flirting or just play.

tallow stick

• This game is almost always present at all Festas Juninas. Party organizers place a large tree trunk in the ground. Some type of wax or ox tallow is passed on this trunk. On top of the tallow stick, a gift of value or a bill of money is placed. The game is interesting, as most participants are unable to climb and slip.

pot breaker

• A fine ceramic pot is filled with sweets and candy. This pot is tied to a wooden beam. The participant (usually a child), blindfolded, and armed with a long wood will try to hit and break the pot. When that happens everyone can run to get the treats.

Egg on spoon race

• A chicken egg is placed in a tablespoon. Participants must reach the finish line carrying the spoon with the handle in their mouth, without dropping the egg.
