LOVE IS IN THE AIR

Paco was excited to attend a really amazing wedding this weekend. He took a trip to be there with his family and friends as his Aunt got married. Have you ever been to a wedding? This was Paco’s first one. There was a little ceremony where they gave each other rings. They also made promises to last a lifetime. It was very special. And then the party really started with delicious food and dancing, lots of dancing. There must be something with celebrating that gets people dancing.
 
Paco showed off some dance moves from the series The Lion Guard from Disney Junior. It’s especially fitting for a bird but fun for everyone to try! Check out the you tube video below to see how it’s done. ♫ “Go go flamingo, go go flamingo… 🎶Point beak. ♪♪ Head flap. ♪ Flap repeat!” ♫.    

Also check out Paco's latest Read and Find: Wedding Edition. Can you find all the special wedding symbols? Just download the activity sheet to find out.

Paco is really enjoying the SNOW! He had a fun week playing outside building snowmen, making snowballs, sledding, and creating snow angels. There are so many snow play activities for those of us that live in snowy places. What are your favorites? 

Have you ever heard the saying 'no two snowflakes are alike'? It is a common phrase and it is mostly true. Snowflakes are very unique. Finding a perfect match is like one in a billion! That's pretty rare so Paco has made a new activity for you to find that perfect match today. Just print Paco's latest activity Find the Match, and look for that rare snowflake perfect match. Can you find it?

Have fun and stay warm out there!

Happy Thanksgiving! Paco is grateful for YOU, all of his postcard friends and his family. What are you grateful for? 

Paco had a wonderful day with his family. They played board games, watched football on the television and then played their own game of football in the backyard. They also ate a lot of delicious food. Paco still feels full! Are you feeling full too?

While you relax and enjoy the rest of your Thanksgiving weekend, you can try to solve Paco's Thanksgiving word search. It includes some of Paco's favorite things! Can you find them all?

Check Mate!

Have you ever played chess? Paco just played last week! Did you know, the longest chess game in recorded history lasted 269 moves and actually ended in a draw. A "draw" means that no one won - they tied! Can you believe that? That must have been a really long game. The average game only lasts 38 moves and takes anywhere from 10 to 60 minutes to play.

If you want to learn how to play, or teach a friend who does not know, Paco has a really cool video that teaches all of the moves. Check it out!
He also created a cheat sheet for you, a board and all of the pieces. It can be hard to remember what moves each piece can make, so the cheat sheet really comes in handy! Find a friend or family member to play with and have fun.
