Picnic Book
Fold a sheet of construction
paper in half. Punch holes at the
top and attach pipe cleaners for your handles. Let children draw and write about an imaginary adventure in
their “picnic books.”
Picture This
Cut 5 ½ ” off the top of
lunch bags. Give each child a bag
and let them decorate it with construction paper scraps and markers to look
like a camera. Punch two holes at
the top and tie on a 24” piece of string so the children can wear their cameras
around their necks. Go on a nature
walk around the school and encourage the children to take “pretend”
pictures. When you return to the
classroom have children describe different things they saw. Give each child a 4 ½” square to draw
their favorite thing. Let the
children dictate or write a sentence about their picture on the back.
Come Out and Play!
Brainstorm all the fun
things to do outside. Give each
child a sheet of paper and let them draw a picture and write/dictate a sentence
about what they like best. Put
their pictures together to make a class book. Let one child take this home each day to share with their
families.
