*Wheelbarrow Race
Provide a space where there is plenty of open room to move and safe for this activity.
Have children take turns being the wheelbarrow and the farmer. Before the activity be sure to talk about safety with this experience. Wheelbarrows need to know that their farmers will go at a slow pace to keep them safe. Farmers need to pay attention to their wheelbarrows to make sure they don't tip and keep going in the right direction.
*Pre-Writing/Cutting Practice
Farm Field Trip
Farm to Table
There are so many community workers to talk about when discussing food from farm to table.
Working Together
Farmers rely on many different people to make the farm work efficiently. Explore how a farm operates to spark a discussion of teamwork, setting up a Farm Chores Obstacle Course would be a great activity to compliment this discussion.
During your activities make connections to the classroom or family. Just like a farm it takes a whole team of people to make a classroom or family work well. Encourage children to think about what they can do to contribute to their family and classrooms.
