Pretend Camp
Make an old fashioned tent
draping some blankets over a
large table. Use sleeping bags or
large pillowcases and lay on the
floor in the tent with the lights off.
Hold flashlights, sing songs, eat
hot dogs and s'mores or enjoy a
sack lunch, etc.
Star Gazing
Go on a scavenger hunt
throughout the house to find
stars. Look on blankets, clothing,
inside books, etc.
Nature Hike/Wreath
Take your child on a hike outside
(your yard, the neighbor's yard,
the park, etc.) to collect nature
items such as leaves, sticks,
small rocks, and dirt. Make a
Nature Wreath by cutting the
center out of a paper plate, then
gluing on the nature items you
have found. Embellish the wreath
with glitter if desired.
Shadow Puppets
Darken the room and experiment
with a flashlight and shadow
puppets.
Bear Hunt
If you child owns teddy bears,
hide them throughout the house
and then "hunt" for them, being
sure to place the found bears in a
trashbag so they won't get away!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
(pretend to be rowing w/your arms)
gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream!
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Going Camping
(sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I am going camping.
(point thumbs proudly to chest)
Time to pack
(point to wristwatch)
My tent, my bedroll,
(Make tent with hands; then fold hands
to cheek.)
And a snack.
(Pretend to eat)
I'll sit by the campfire ----
(warm hands over fire.)
Its glow so bright.
(Fan and wiggle fingers to resemble
fire.)
Then snooze in my tent
(Pretend to snore.)
'Til the morning light!
(Open eyes wide, forming sun over
head.)
Did You Ever Go A-Camping
(Sung to Where is Thumbkin?)
Did you ever go a-camping,
a-camping, a-camping?
Did you ever go a-camping
and sleep in a tent?
2... and see a racoon?
3... and hike in the woods?
4... and fish in a boat?
5... and have a campfire?
