Ask
children to collect different items on the playground. (This will vary with the season and
your habitat.) Put their objects
together in a big pile. Ask the
children to put the objects that are alike together.
*Can
they sort them another way?
Body
Bubble Painting
Pour
a small amount of water in a plastic bowl. Add a big squirt of detergent and several drops of food
coloring. Beat with an egg beater
until the bubbles overflow. Let
the children “paint” their bodies with bubbles and then rinse off in a
sprinkler.
*You can also add food coloring to small bottles of bubbles and have children blow them onto a piece of paper.
Animal Picnic
Brainstorm foods
that animals eat. Write their
suggestions on the board. Let
children circle the foods that they eat as well. Offer those foods (carrots, celery, apples, nuts, berries)
for snack.
