Ages 9-12
Week 2
Canadian Animals
I started the program off this week by reading a book to the
kids.
The first book we read was "Thidwick the Big-Hearted Moose" by Dr. Seuss
The children enjoyed this book!

3.
Glue the googly eyes on the Styrofoam ball
4.

glue them on head
6.
Cut out a tale from orange foam and draw checker
pattern on it

Activity:
Guess
what animal I am: Have one child think of an animal in their head. Have the
other children ask yes or no questions (about the animal) to try to figure out
what the animal is. EX: Do you live in the forest?
Another
game we played was moose vs bear:It is like tag, split the kids
into two groups they are either a moose or a bear, all the bears are trying to
tag the moose to make the moose bears, and vice versa. Kids must perform actions when playing the game to make it clear what team they are on.
