When schools are out in the summer, individuals and families often seek fun things to do. Outdoor activities may differ in different parts of the world. What do boys and girls usually do in the summer? What do adults do? One idea is to make a big class list and check off who has done what, and who will do what.
This Hamilton Conservation Authority Facebook link has a list of some ideas: https://www.facebook.com/HamiltonConservation/photos/a.111847857651.118338.7446247651/10152650367427652/?type=1&theater .
If you are teaching during the summer, you could try out some of these activities in school or on a field trip. You could tally up who has done the most things.
I have done 33 things on this list. How about you?
Themes: Canadian Culture, Leisure, Health and Safety
Grammar: Imperatives, cardinal and ordinal numbers, go / try + gerund
Reminder: Start with oral language first. This kind of language development could also be really fun if incorporating TPR (Total Physical Response).
Have fun!
