Australia Crafts  Dot
PaintingShow the Rainbows examples
of Australian aboriginal dot painting and explain that the different
symbols tell a story.
The Rainbows can make their own dot painting using carrots to print onto sugar paper. They can then paint some of the symbols onto their picture. Example symbols and more information will be
available on Brownie Resources at a later date
Koala Bears and Kangaroos You can print out templates for making paper/cardboard kangaroos and koalas from http://www.dltk-kids.com/animals/australian.html. Games All but one Rainbow sits on a chair in a
circle. The other Rainbow stands in the middle of the circle. The
Rainbows are given the names of Australian animals, e.g. 'Koala',
'Kangaroo', 'Possum'. When the person in the middle calls out an animal
the Rainbows who are that animal swop places. The person in the middle
tries to sit down. Whoever is left standing is in the middle for the
next round.
You could also play Cockatoo Sentry.
