St George's Day CelebrationsDragon slaying stories, learning to maypole dance and a Punch and Judy show; St George's Day at the Museum of Childhood is perfect for keeping the kids entertained. The day's traditions are made relevant for today's youngsters with the Kent Korkers and Pork Scratchins showing how morris dancing should be done - if your kids are CBBC's fans they may have already seen them performing on 'The Mysti Show'. Kids can also see some traditional Old England slapstick with a Punch and Judy show by Geoff Felix. In honour of George's battle against the dragon, a giant dragon will be pieced together from recycled materials - making it a jolly green dragon - while a Victorian Barrel Organ provides the soundtrack to the day's festivities.
