Preschooler Western Day! Any Ideas?

Question

At my High school, we have a preschool for one of our classes where kids 3-5yrs old come to learn, play, have fun, ect. So what are some creative, fun, education, interesting, any ideas you have, for a Western Themed day? No matter how fragmented any idea may be, please share them! ^_^

Answer 1

If you serve a lunch/snack you could have beenie weenies and beef jerky.

Make cowboy vests out of large paper sacks, wear bandanas, make tin stars out of cardboard and tin foil, and ride stick horses around a campfire made up of rocks in a circle with colored (red, orange, yellow) filament paper in the center (for fire).  

'camp' outside for nap or storytime.  each child can bring a 'bed roll' (sleeping bag), put them around the campfire and read a theme related book.

play horseshoes, try to laso something (like a teacher) with a rope.

have fun !!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

Get some coloring pages of a *western horse" and have the children decorate and display them...

Get some foamie board from the craft store and make horse pieces like jointed legs, head, tail, body etc.... Use brass brads and a hole punch to attach to cardboard background decorate background like a rodeo or barn motif.... Make different colored hores and parts and see what the children come up with- *You could even trace the horses onto the foamie material...

Have counting games.... Use different animals- chicken, pigs and cows.. count and match... Or a memory type game...

Teach the children how to square dance or dance to country music.. Line dance...

Watch the musical Oklahoma....

Play horseshoes or corn hole bean bag toss game.. It's on sale at TARGET....

Good luck
