[Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors]

One Month Challenge
May 2024

Remember all those Disney songs that you loved as a kid? Our challenge this month is all about one of those. This month, we are going with Alice in Wonderland and the scene where the flowers sing. You do not have to complete all of these and you may repeat tasks. Open the link below and pick a card to find out what task to read for. Read for the task associated with that number. So grab a spot and start playing!!

All in the Golden Afternoon
Little bread-and-butterflies kiss the tulips
And the sun is like a toy balloon
There are get-up-in-the-morning glories
In the golden afternoon

There are dizzy daffodils on the hillside
Strings of violets are all in tune
Tiger lilies love the dandelions
In the golden afternoon

There are dog and cat-erpillars and a copper centipede
Where the lazy daisies love the very peaceful life
They lead...

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There's a wealth of happiness and romance
All in the golden afternoon

All in the golden afternoon, the golden afternoon

You can learn a lot of things from the flowers
For especially in the month of June
There's a wealth of happiness and romance
All in the golden afternoon
