One at a time, haverepparttar 110622 children find an airplane. You can time them and see who findsrepparttar 110623 airplanerepparttar 110624 fastest. This airplane can go home with them in their goody bag.

"Jet Race" To play this wonderful game, mark a target onrepparttar 110625 ground a short distance away or make a finish line onrepparttar 110626 floor with tape.
