How to Play "Take a Hike"
If you can find a "grassy field"
in your neighborhood, take a closer look!
Start by collecting a variety of household objects and place them in a
paper sack. Choose objects that are different colors,
shapes, textures and sizes. Some
examples include:
 button
pencil
sock |
cotton
ball
string
yearn
|
sandpaper
paper
clip
scotch
tape |
Also place in your bag, some index
cards or a drawing tablet, some crayons, and a magnifying glass.
Now, set out on your neighborhood
hike. Look for objects in nature or in a grassy field that have the
same properties as the household items in your bag. Collect these
items, or draw pictures of them on the index cards or in the tablet.
Which
items are sticky like the scotch tape?
Which
items are soft like the cotton ball?
Which
items are scratchy like the sandpaper?
Which
items have the same color? |
When you get back home, discuss
with a friend or with your family the things that you have found.
Explain why you chose the things you did.
We would like to hear from you,
e-mail us and let us know how
you would like to help preserve the prairie.
