Slip-N-Slide with Junior High kiddos!


I think what is most scary to me about slip-n-slide is that I remember when the actual company came out with the yellow plastic when I was in junior high! That is more years ago than I wish to count! I’m glad the kids love it so well and that we’ve had some pretty funny memories created with water, soap and plastic.

Did you know you can slide further if you add dish soap TO YOUR TORSO, not so much to the plastic itself? Some kids got carried away and even had it in their hair ('cause that helps you slide if you land on your head?!), which then dripped into their eyes. That only needs to happen once for the teen to realize soaping the torso is all anyone needs...
