A ~ Z Schoolers: 4th of July

Happy 4th of July

Using fine motor skills: add the stars to the clothes pins to make a flag. I got the idea for this clothesline flag here.

Patriotic Movement Game

Idea for movement game here I used these Movement cards Here as well as these Patriotic

pictures that I made. Use 2 Photo Stacking Blocks put movement (somersault, dance, wave, twirl, jump, kneel) in one block. Put Patriotic pictures in the other block. Have large Patriotic pictures around the play area. Roll both dice and find out what movement you will use to get to the large picture.
