Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Something that immediately springs to mind is an obstacle course where the children have to go over, under, round and through. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 we did this as part of 'journeys'. We had a day when the chidlren brought their binoculars, hads, back packs etc etc all to go on a bear hunt. Their wore wellies and we went throught eh grass(forest) then we had a paddling pool with water that they splashed through, compost (mixed with water) that they trudged through, snow was white streaters tied between trees and finally we had a tent with the bear in. I wrote a letter to parents telling them about the bear hunt and what they chidlren might need but the chidlren came up with their own list and we went with it. After the hunt, there were some chidlren who showed 'violent 'tendecies about what they would do to the bear (had he been caught) So the bear wrote them a letter the next day about how sad he was that he had no friends etc etc and it generated a lot of letter writing amongst the children. The bear wrote back and the communication continued for 3 weeks. the chidlren really enjoyed it and wanted to do it agin and this time, we had our older childre (yr 5) join us. They got into the spirit and enjoyed it as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SueFinanceManager Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Rocket You know the bit when they squelch through the mud, you could fill your water table with squelchy things. ie flour and water paste cornflour mixed with water, this really glupy You could then use food colouring to dye it mud colour. Really messy but jolly good fun Sue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Make a snow storm. Collect clear plastic bottles and fill them with water and white glitter. Shake well and watch the snow fall. I also grew grass in the builders tray and made mud from crepe paper and water (this will stain hands). Oh and the best part was making a dark cave.
