Finally got a set of the new adventurer club workbooks. I really like the new cover. I love the new design and the fact that they are colorful. The inside is pretty much the same with just a couple of changes. What do you guys think of the new workbooks?
Kids love board games ! I did some research on line and put a mixture of ideas together and did this emotions board game for the kids to play.
The game consists of acting out different feeling and questions such as "How would that make you feel? "
We played this game in our last meeting and the kids really enjoyed it.
I also found some big foam dice at the dollar store and I made the game pieces out of water bottle caps and just added a different sticker on top of each cap.
I found this boxes at Michael's and I decided to use them to keep all my club things in. Here you see the box I use to keep all the adventurer class A uniform things. I have one for Little lambs and one for Eager Beavers as well.
I also use these boxes to keep any extra workbooks and books.
Here is a very simple and easy way to keep track of all your adventurer club award patches.
Buy some plastic boxes with lots of little compartments to store all the awards.
You can find this boxes at just about any store.
I separated mine by classes. I have one for little lambs one for eager beavers and then one for each adventurer class. I also have a big one to store all the extra awards patches and the class pins.
The little lambs community helpers star is such a fun star to do. A side from doing all the steps that are required I also bring community helpers dress up items for the kids to use. I also use this big community helper posters and this book from the dollar section from target.
And for the craft each child makes a doctor bag to take home.
Here are some of the things I used to teach the wooly lamb star.
We start the class by reading the Lambs are baby sheep book from adventsource. Then the children get to see and feel real lambs wool they then make a lamb craft to take home and last they get to play a game of looking for lambs.
I bought this lambs at the dollar store and laminated them since the children will be playing this game at the beginning of each class.
Here's the poster I made for the eager beaver chip God's Word. I did this poster with all the steps that are required for the chip.
Couldn't forget the Eager Beaver class.
I was able to find lots of beaver pictures to make this board and also added the pledge, law and the class song.
This is the poster I made for the Little Lambs class. I have included the pledge, law and the little lambs song as well as some pictures of Jesus and lambs for the children to look at.
Here's the poster I made to teach the Bird chip to the eager beaver class.
This is the poster I made to give the Adventurer Club Lizard award.
I added some of the steps the award calls for that way I can use the poster while teaching the award and the children have something to took at as they work.
Here's a fun way to display your adventure pledge, law and song in your next adventure club meeting.
Working on the Eager Beaver "Fire Safety" chip this week and I came across a page that suggested to make a flame out of felt to help the children practice their STOP, DROP, and ROLL activity. This is the one I made for our little ones. I think it's a great idea. I am also going to use a white color table cloth to use as "smoke" and have the children practice crawling underneath it to find the door.
