🐗 Hogs Win & Preschool Tailgate Fun

Written By April Middleton

At ABC Academy… we don’t just watch the game—we LIVE it!

HOGS WIN!!! ❤️🏀

And around here, that called for a full-on preschool tailgate party!

This afternoon, we turned our little corner of the world into Razorback central. The excitement started building early as we talked about the big game, the Arkansas Razorbacks, and what it means to cheer for your team. The kids were all in—and let me tell you, they brought the energy!

🐷 Our Preschool Tailgate Party

We kept things simple, fun, and totally kid-friendly:

  • Pulled pork

  • Cheese dip (a must in Arkansas 😉)

  • All the “tailgate fixin’s”

The kids thought it was the best day ever getting to eat “game food” together. There’s just something special about sharing food as a group—it turns into conversation, laughter, and lots of connection.

🎨 Little Piggies, Big Spirit

One of my favorite parts of the day… our shirts!

We made the cutest Razorback-inspired t-shirts with our little piggies ❤️🐷 Each one was unique, just like my preschoolers. They were SO proud to wear them and show their Razorback spirit.

📣 Calling Those Hogs

And yes… we called those Hogs!!

If you’ve never heard a group of preschoolers yell “WOO PIG SOOIE,” you’re missing out 😂 It was loud, it was proud, and it was absolutely adorable.

💡 The Learning Behind the Fun

Days like this aren’t just about the theme—they’re full of learning:

  • Social skills: sharing, taking turns, eating together

  • Language development: new words, chants, and conversations

  • Creativity: designing their own shirts

  • Community awareness: cheering for something together

This is what learning through play and real-life experiences looks like.

❤️ Why It Matters

These are the days they’ll remember.

The fun. The laughter. The feeling of being part of something.

And honestly… so will I.

So here’s to the Razorbacks, a big WIN, and a classroom full of happy little fans.

WOO PIG SOOIE!!! 🐗❤️
