Classroom Campfire
By: Ashlee Steward
Looking for summer activities to do within your nurseries?
Why not create a camping theme!
You can work together to create a paper fire and even collect some
small stones to put round it if you wish. Depending upon the age
groups you teach, you could make paper maché rocks using ballons
or crumple piles of recycled paper and paint them grey to look like
stones. You can extend this activity according to their age and stage
of development.
You could even involve the parents and ask them to send the
children in with marshmallows (check that no one is allergic)
and with blankets, bears ,flashlights, etc.
The children can then enjoy ‘roasting’ marshmallows around the fire
and story time!
