Today we celebrate not one, but two national days.
National Donut Day
The day, the first Friday in June, has actually been around since World War II. It was originally marked to honor the troops with free donuts courtesy the Salvation Army. Isn’t that sweet?
We have over 6 states playing the game with us, so if you live anywhere close to the following, pick up some donuts, watch this crazy guy win the guiness book of world records and head to the second activity.
Dunkin Donuts will give you a free donut with any coffee or cold beverage purchase on Friday.
Krispy Kreme will give each customer one free glazed donut, no purchase required. This is at Krispy Kreme stores only, so don’t try to grab one off the supermarket shelf and eat it, wiseguy.
Busken Bakery (Ohio) will have free glazed donuts in the morning, and discounts on a dozen.
Entenmann’s will give 10 people free donuts for a year, if you enter via their Facebook page. Not sure I really want free donuts for a whole year, but I’ve never turned down a freebie, so why not.
Tim Horton’s typically posts a coupon for a free donut on their website the morning of National Donut Day, if you have any Time Horton’s (Canadian chain) in your area. In Canada, you’ll find one on every block.
LaMar’s (Midwest and South) will have free donuts Friday.
National Repeat Day
Some national days are way fun, like donuts and well others can be super obnoxious. Hmmm like repeat day. But remember, this is where we take ordinary and make extraordinary. So we are going to play a little game, all day, wherever we go. It’s a renaming game. First you are going to classify something, then you are going to give it another name. So it will look like this. At our house we use these things below. Oh, you have them too? We don’t call them straws, we call them fluidic suctioning devices. Yup. We really do. When we run out of toilet paper in the bathroom, we don’t ask for tp, we ask for white trees. So for repeat day, we are going to rename common things with weird names. I bet you already have a few.
Frisbee Fun
The other day while walking through Wal-mart, I passed these super large Frisbee and I promise you there was only one word in my mind… FUN. I mean anything oversized is ALWAYS a blast. These are soft sided Frisbee and are selling here for $4.92. Since donuts are round and you repeat the action over and over they just seem to fit on today. So let’s have Frisbee Fun!
FRISBEE GAMES – These are some interesting ways to play with a Frisbee, try at least two of them and let me know how they go.
TEAM FRISBEE – now if you have tons of people in your family or in your neighborhood, THIS might be the game for you. Diego23 has these broken down into beginners intermediate and advanced.
