Let
the children “adopt” a special tree on the playground. Vote on a name for your tree and then
take photos of it in different seasons.
Read stories or sing songs in the shade of your tree.
*Draw
pictures of your tree or write descriptions. (Great for non-fiction writing.)
Counting
Children
can count trees, fence posts, balls, bushes, and many other items on the
playground.
*Have
them estimate how many and then verify their guess by counting.
Snack in a Cone
Serve crackers, pretzels, dry cereal,
raisins, or other snacks in a cone.
Children can eat the snack and then eat the cone! No mess to clean up with this snack!
