Camping
Fun In the Classroom
My
guys love camping, we usually put up a small tent inside the
playroom and add,
a sleeping bag, a flashlight, back pack, maybe even some dishes for
cooking over the fire,
we use wood blocks and red and orange construction paper to make a pretend
fire.
Going
Fishing
Set up a rocking boat or a large box in side or outdoors.
Prepare paper fish with paperclips attached to them. Include fishing poles
made from
wooden dowel rods and a long piece of string with a magnet attached to the
end.
Marshmallow Roast
The
kids skewered marshmallows on the end of drinking straws and
"roasted"
them over our imaginary fire. Take small dowel rods and glue cotton balls
to the end for roasting marshmallows. Use some of the blocks to set up a
fire
Tent Fun
Put a tent up in the backyard and let the kids play in it during out
door time.
Pretend
Campfire
Rolled up
newspapers make great logs for the pretend campfire
Hiking
Packs
Put
some
school backpacks in your dramatic play area.
They make great hiking packs.
Puppets
Develop a puppet
corner in the dramatic play area including
various animal puppets which might be seen while camping.
Camping
Fun in Dramatic Play Area
Help your children
create a tent by draping a sheet over a table. Provide a
flashlight and
blanket or sleeping bag and your children will be prepared for hours of
indoor camping fun.
Add Lincoln logs for a fire,
fisherman's equipment, backpacks, canteens, play lanterns,
pretend fishing poles, nets, camping hats, camoflauge clothing, boots, and child
sized life jackets, bandanas to your dramatic play area.
