Week 5

Ages: 7-8

Canadian Food

Books

The first book we read was "More Pies!" by Robert Munsch. The kids really enjoyed this book (and it gave great inspiration for our craft). 

    The second book we read was  “Everyone Loves Bacon” by Kelly Dipucchio. The kids loved this book, it's quite funny (Canadian Ham even made an appearance).

The third book we read was "Lady Pancake and Sir French Toast" by Josh Funk, this is a fun rhyming book and great to read aloud. 

 Activity: 

Battle of the Restaurants 

To play this game split children into two teams. Designate a middle line.Give each team some objects to have on their side (these are the ingredients). Each team is trying to get all the ingredients. Each team is safe on their own side. If a team is tagged on the opposing teams side they must freeze where they are tagged until a teammate comes to rescue them. To be rescued a teammate must walk them back to their home side (they have a free walk back). The first team to have all the ingredients wins.
