Activities:
*Make a language
experience chart of children’s suggestions for what it means to be on the “Green
Team.” Have children dip their
thumb in green paint and “sign” it on the list to signify that they are going
to join the “Green Team.”
*Make a
naturalist kit by recycling a detergent box or similar container with a
handle. Make binoculars by cutting
a cardboard paper towel roll in half.
Tape the halves together and hole punch at the top. Tie on a piece of string so children
can easily take the binoculars on and off their heads. Add a magnifying glass, field guide,
tweezers, film canister (for collecting specimens), paper, pencil, etc. Talk about what naturalists do. Can you be a naturalist? Divide children up into groups of two
and let them take turns playing “naturalist” on the playground.
