Week 2 9-12: Nature

Week 2
Nature
Ages: 9-12

Books: 

We read Just a Dream by Chris Van Allsburg. It was a great book about thinking about sustainability for the future, and what the future might look like if we don't take care of the earth now. 

For the second group we read a bit of a book called Wolf Island by Ian McAllister and Nicholas Read. Which is about a wolf in the Great Bear Rainforest who decides to go off on his own in hopes of starting his own clan.

Craft:

For our craft we made owls. Materials needed for this craft are an owl template, construction paper, scissors.

For the first group of the week we didn't have very nice weather for we played a nature themed game of telephone. For the second group of the week we got lucky with a beautiful summers day so we played a capture the flag style game which we called robins VS foxes.

Bananas, and carrots. 

Week 1 2-6: Superheroes

Week 1:
Superheroes
Ages: 2-6

Books: 

Dylan the Villain by K.G. Campbell

What a fun book! The kids thought this book was pretty great. We practiced our evil laughs while reading this book. It was a nice change to what you would normally expect to read in a superhero themed storytime. 

Eliot Jones Midnight Superhero by Anne Cottringer

This was another good book. It had lots of different characters and was packed with humor! It went along nicely as a contrasting book to Dylan the Villain. 

The final book we read was The Day I Lost My Superpowers by Kris Di Giamcomo and Micheal Escoffier. This was a fun book about imagining that you have superpowers and that other people in your family might have superpowers too. 

Craft: Popsicle Stick Superhero!

Material:

 Construction paper cut into triangles for cape, and rectangles for mask, googly eyes, glue, markers, and colored Popsicle sticks. 

Games: 

For one day of the 2-6 group it was too cold to go outside so we stayed inside and sang some action songs. For the two other days it was nice out so we went outside and played "red light, green light", and "what time is it Mr.Wolf?"

Snack: 

Apples, and carrots.

Craft: Superhero Masks

Materials: Foam paper, elastic string, scissors, markers, and stickers!

To make this craft I traced a mask template on the foam paper for all the kids. They them had to cut out the mask and decorate it. I used the elastic string to ensure that it stayed on their heads. I cut to holes on each side of that mask that tied the string on. This was a fun craft it was great to see all the different masks that came out of it! 

Game: 

We played a game called Superhero VS Villains. To play this game I had two children in the middle who would be the villains and the rest of the kids would be the superheroes. The villains were trying to tag the superheroes which would then turn the heroes into villains. There was a start and end line. If a superhero got tagged before they reached the end line that is when they would become a villain. In order to begin a round the villains must yell "SUPER, SUPER, VILLAIN, VILLIAIN!" The superhero who got tagged last would become the starting villain for the next round. 

Snack: 

Carrots, and apples.

Craft: Superhero Trading Cards

This week we made Superhero Trading cards. To make these cards we used a template found on the TD Summer Reading website. The kids drew their own superheroes on a piece of paper and had to determine a name, hometown, special abilities and an arch enemy for their superhero.

Game: 

For our game we played handshake murder. To play this game designate 2 detectives. Then have everyone close their eyes and choose a murderer by tapping them on the head. After the murderer is chosen everyone walks around and shakes hands. The murderer squeezes the victims hand while shaking it. The detective must guess who the murderer is before everyone dies.
