Week 8: Celebrate Canada Ages 2-6

Ages 2-6
Week 8
Celebrate Canada
Where did the time go? What an incredible summer! 
This week we wrapped things up with a fun packed Canadian themed program! 
Books: 
The first book we read was "Rocky Mountain ABCs" by Jocey Asnong. This was a great book to end the program with! It features so many beautiful Canadian destinations. 
The second book we read was "Goodnight Canada" by Andrea Beck. This was a fun book with lots of silly animals. There was lots of things for children to spot on every page!

Activity: 
Ice-cream Flavors: 
How to play: 
Have the kids think of their favorite flavor of ice-cream(in their head). Call out various flavours of ice-cream. If you call a child's favorite flavor they must run to the other side without being tagged, if they are tagged they must join you in the middle. 
We also played "red light,green light", and "what time is it Mr.Wolf?". 

Craft: 
Maple Leaf Tissue Paper Art

 Assorted colors of tissue paper chopped into small squares, glue, a template of a 
Canadian maple leaf.
