Camping on a Hot Summer Day!

8/15/2018

0 Comments

 
Camping is a great summer time activity. It's not very often that some children even get to go camping. Why not make it fun at school for them to "camp"? There are so many ideas to make it fun! Here are a few that we've found! Be sure to let us know how the children liked them!
Camping Songs!
A-Camping We Will Go 
(tune: Farmer in the Dell)

A-camping we will go, 
A-camping we will go, 
Hi-ho and off we go, 
A-camping we will go.

More Verses:
First we pitch our tent 
Next we chop some wood 
We light the campfire now 
We cook our dinner now 
We tell fun stories now 
It's time to go to sleep 
I'm Going Camping! 
(tune:  Twinkle Twinkle)

I'm going camping, yes sirree! 
I'm going camping, won't you come with me? 
First we'll pitch our tent on the ground, 
Then make a fire as we all gather round. 
I'm going camping, yes sirree! 
I'm going camping, won't you come with me?

Next we'll cook on the open fire, 
Then till stories till we all get tired. 
When the stars are twinkling bright, 
We'll sleep in our tents 'til the morning light. 
I'm going camping, yes sirree! 
I'm going camping, won't you come with me?

When we see the morning sun, 
We'll wake right up 'cause the day's begun. 
There's so much that we can do -- 
Fishing, swimming, hiking, too. 
I'm going camping, yes sirree! 
I'm going camping, won't you come with me?

Our Hiking Song 
(tune:  I've Been Working on the Railroad)
I'm a first grade explorer 
Exploring every day. 
I'm a first grade explorer, 
And I have a dream today. 
When I'm working or I'm playing 
And pretending what I'll be, 
I'm a first grade explorer, 
Exploring to be me!
