Earth Crafts Pictures
from Natural Objects
Take the Rainbow outside to collect leaves
and twigs that have fallen on the ground. You might also find (or
provide) some charcoal and chalk. Give the Rainbows a large sheet of
coloured paper and let them make a 'natural' picture.
Animal Track Plaster Casts   Talk to the Rainbows about animal tracks and
how they are made. Provide animal tracks (I got my kitten to walk
across seed trays filled with earth and sand). Get the Rainbows to cut
a piece of card, write their name on it and staple it in a circle.
Place the card over the track. Help them to mix up plaster of paris and
then pour it over the track. The tracks need to be quite deep to work.
Food Mud Cups    Give each Rainbow a plate and a digestive
biscuit. Rainbows should cover the top of the biscuit with chocolate
icing. On top of this they should place sweets to represent the flames
of the fire. On top of this they should put broken chocolate fingers as
the main trunks of the bonfire. Finally they can break a chocolate
matchstick into small pieces and place in the bonfire as kindling.
Games Old Oak Tree:
Rainbows stand in a
line holding hands. They gently wrap themselves around the Rainbow on
the end (like the rings of a tree). When they are all added to the
'tree' the tree starts to rot from the inside. The inner Rainbow goes
under the Rainbow hands to make her way out. The next Rainbow follows
(still holding hands) and so on until all the Rainbows are back in a
line. (NB: This game needs close supervision to check that the Rainbows
are not wrapping too tightly.)
Nature Hunt: Split the Rainbows into teams. Give each team pictures of natural objects to find (a leaf, conker, twig, stone etc). See how quickly the teams can find their objects. |
