March Activities
Red Light Green Light: Use a piece of red and green paper to play red light, green light. Hold up the green paper to signal “go” and red to signal “stop” this is a great active indoor game.
Shamrock Sponge: Cut a small sponge or wash cloth into the shape of a shamrock and place it on a plate. Let your child sprinkle some seeds on the sponge or cloth and set the plate in the sunlight. Show your child how to add a little water to the plate and keep it damp. Soon your shamrock will be covered with green!
Wind Experiments:  Use a feather, a balloon and fan to show your child about wind. Choose a couple of heavy objects and ask your child which one will blow around in the wind. Talk to your child about how powerful the wind can be and what to do if there is a tornado. It is important to talk about emergency
situations before it happens.    
 
Bag Kites:  This is an easy fun activity for those windy days of March. Give each child a small paper bag. Let them decorate with crayons and makers. Punch a hole on the top side of the bag near the opening and tie a piece of yarn through the hole. (you may wish to reinforce the hole with tape) Show your child how the kites will fill with air and fly up and down when they run.
