Take the kids outside, bring toy cars,trucks or heavy machinery, qamutiik. Make tracks that the cars can drive through. Kids really love to make tracks (trails) on the snow or even on sand.

Domains. Physical (fine motor) social and language.

You can team work to make the track, you can use a shovel to make a track is its too hard to do it with small toys.

Curriculum is science. As the kids can notice the snow or ice is melting.

If your done with outside play, when you go in you can do craft and make a tracks on paper, would be nicer to make the track on the big paper where kids can play on it with mini cars.

1.Camouflage game is a fun game that can be played by children while learning to recognize the land and the sky. Sometimes the land and sky can be same and animals can be camouflage by the same colors. How it would be played: there could be some white blanket for those who doesn’t have white outfit, to make them camouflage too. Have one child counting up to 20 while other kids are trying to hide where they could be camouflage (Invisible) after counting, owl would start looking for children that hid, but owl can only look only moving it’s head, without moving the body. Who is found, their name is called that they are seen.

2..Learn to be careful with surroundings and to recognize. Sometimes Nuna and skies become same color (camouflage) like if the snow and skies are white, we would have hard time seeing owl too or any object is white.

3. Curriculum is Science, learning the environment, the weather, what’s around. They can also be learning about the animals can become invisible (Camouflage) if they are the same color as Nuna and sky. It can also be Math. How many children, how many animals or how many rocks or pile that we can be hid.

4. Domain- Social, learning with a group of any number of players. Physical, we have to use our energy to quickly hide before our owl counts down ends. Emotional, enjoying but also trying to be quiet so that owl doesn’t hear us.

5. Extension- we can also use animal toys as camouflage that has to be found by the owl (or any animal toys) children can learn to look carefully.

Taking students outside to explore the Nuna. Get them to collect plants for art inside. This is an art and math curriculum, physical, cognitive and social domain. When we take students outside to play and explore the land, we are also taking them outdoor for fresh air. We tell them what are we doing? What are we going to collect? Tell them to collect whatever they want on the nuna and put it in the ziploc for art they want to create in class. When they are done creating art ask them who are they going to gift it to? And they all made beautiful art that they created from their hearts:)

A,b,c song on the snow syllabics.

1.natural items like twigs, pinecones, colorful berries (safely), or even your own footprint/fingerprints for texture, plus tools like colored water in spray bottles, sticks, shovels, or just hands.

2.use prompts like describing a snow globe world, animal tales, or how-to guides for snow fun, focusing on sensory details like frosty branches, blinding sun on snow, or cold wind, to create stories or poems about winter adventures

Developmental domains: Physical (fine motor) Social, and language.

Activity preparation: Fill the bin with snow, place the bin on the mat or towel, place the toy vehicles in the bin.

This activity, children play with snow and toy vehicles. Children can notice the temperature of snow and watch it melt overtime. Be a play partner and encourage children to play with the vehicles in the snow. Ask the children questions about what they are doing. Encourage the children to talk about their observations, listen and be supportive of their thinking. Encourage the children to make patterns with each set of tracks, children make once track belonging to someone else’s. Ask the Children if they can create a set of tracks that do not run into each other in the snow bin. Ask questions like “What are you driving?” Or “HELP! My truck is stuck!!” To encourage them to be helpful. -Jean

fall theme activities are good to play with the kids

Have some bucket around you and kids, make some castle or anything that bucket can make.

Can also write names, abcs, i pi it ki, anyhow you wanna write on the sand, collect some rocks or anything you see on the sand to write your name or number. Can be fun for the kids to do this activity

Physical, emotional, language domains

After children dig of all the nature items, help them sort and categorize what they have found. You may what do to this in centre and lay the items out on the table.

Debbie:  Great start! I love this game and children ask for it all the time. Can you add more detail on how you would explain the game to kids? The comparison of how both Nuna and nanuq are the same color- Why? What is this called? This is science curriculum not because of the weather, but because kids are learning about arctic animals and how they survive- more on this please=)

JOAN: Great ideas! If you have the kids use the trucks to help build something, then you are now adding in art Curr and Math! How many piles can the plough make?

DEANNA:  this picture you got off the internet is ME and my kids when I worked at Nanook School!! FUN! Great activity! LOve how they will make art after with what they found. You could have an example made to help guide and inspire them-

Outdoor play with the children using a parachute.

1. Take the children outside with the parachute.

Form a circle holding the parachute, and ask the children to lift the parachute- holding it and go inside the parachute and quickly sit down.

And you can play a name game and have 2 kids running under the parachute to switch sides, and you and also hold the parachute put something on top the parachute and put a Pualuk- mitt and lift up and down trying not to let the mitt fall.

2. Why is it important?

* It is important to go outdoors with the children for physical health, mental health, social skills, teamwork, cognitive developments and for our body to keep us going from the fresh air.

3. What are the domains.

The domains for this activity are Physical Domain,

Social development, language development, cognitive development, emotional development, fine motor skills and gross motor skills.

4. The curriculum in this activity is math as the children get to know how many children are taking part in the activity and also gym class.

5. Extension

I would get the children back inside after playing outdoors with the parachute, and do an art activity like painting on paper with rainbow colors or introducing a colour wheel.
