Guess the Habitat from Nature Games:

This could be in the form of a tableau or a mime with groups of three taking part. Some ideas would be: a pond with frogs hopping, reeds waving in the breeze and a goldfish swimming; or the seashore with sand castles being built, the tide coming in and anemones gently opening and closing their tentacles."; quote[1] = "Let's Enjoy Nature Extract:

Exploring the elements: Pin Wheels:

These are easy to make with a square of stiff paper or thin card that can be painted with bright colours. Fold the square in both diagonals and cut along the folds to 2.5cm of the centre. Take each corner of the square and fasten it to the centre with a ball headed pin. Make a tiny paper tube 1cm long and put it round the pin . Then fix the point of the pin into a rubber at the end of a long pencil. The pin wheel should spin in the wind but if it gets stuck, ease the hole made by the centre pin."; quote[2] = "Let's Enjoy Nature Extract:

Making things from nature: animal puppets:

Children love making their own puppets and many animals are ideal as models. A puppet show with nothing more elaborate than a large cardboard box with the top and bottom removed, standing on a table, can be set up very easily. Elephants, rhinos, whales, dolphins, otters and owls can be cardboard cutouts held by a stick; crocodiles, snakes and seals can be made out of old stockings, painted or stuck with collages and fitted into childrens arms with the hands being the mouthpiece. The choice of endangered species may be an inspiration for a theme on saving them."; now=new Date() num=(now.getSeconds())%3 document.write(quote[num])
