Following The Buffalo
Good movement and problem-solving lesson which works well in conjunction with Native American Project.
After a great warm-up The Horsey game, the children explore sign language and how that might help in following the buffalo. Then they prepare to track the buffalo and come apon a stampede. We ask how did the stampede happen and how would they stop it?
At night a fire is made and around the campfire stories are told.
