Pretend Camp
Weekly Words: Camping, tent, star, flashlight
Color: White
"Pack" a backpack and pretend to go camping.
Make an old-fashioned tent by draping some blankets over a large table or over a broom laying across 2 chairs. Spread out sleeping bags, large pillowcases, or blankets inside.
Lay on the floor in the tent with the lights off. Talk about going camping and tell stories about your adventures. Shine flashlights around the room and pretend to gaze at stars. Build a pretend fire to sit around and sing songs. Eat hot dogs or sack lunches. Pretend to go to sleep (or even take a nap in the tent!)
Songs:
Going Camping
(sung to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
I am going camping.
(point thumbs proudly to chest)
Time to pack
(point to wristwatch)
My tent, my bedroll,
(Make tent with hands; then fold hands
to cheek.)
And a snack.
(Pretend to eat)
I'll sit by the campfire ----
(warm hands over fire.)
Its glow so bright.
(Fan and wiggle fingers to resemble
fire.)
Then snooze in my tent
(Pretend to snore.)
'Til the morning light!
(Open eyes wide, forming sun over
head.)
Did You Ever Go A-Camping
(Sung to Where is Thumbkin?)
Did you ever go a-camping,
a-camping, a-camping?
Did you ever go a-camping
and sleep in a tent?
2... and see a racoon?
3... and hike in the woods?
4... and fish in a boat?
5... and have a campfire?
