Fall Activities Leaf Rubbings Materials: many leaves (try taking a “treasure walk” outside to collect especially interesting or beautiful leaves!), crayons or colored pencils, white paper Procedure: 1. Arrange your leaves in whatever pattern you like. Then place a sheet of white paper over top of your leaf-design. 2. Gently rub the crayon or colored pencil over the paper, and watch as each leaf’s image appears on your paper. 3. Try using many different colors, and various sizes of leaves! Cloud Art Materials: Drawing boards, light blue or gray paper, white chalk or pastels, and imagination! Procedure: 1. Go outside on a partly cloudy day. 2. Lie on your back and watch the clouds move past. What types of shapes do you see Do the clouds look like anything to you 3. Now select a cloud. Put a piece of light blue or gray paper on your drawing board, and try to draw it using the white chalk or pastel. 4. Now you can draw another cloud, or perhaps you would like to turn your cloud into something that you think it resembles! Seasonal Activities 40
Fall Games Materials: none Players: large group (six or more players) Partner Tag How to Play: First, pick a person to be “It” and a person to be chased. Everyone else must then find a partner. Partners should stand next to each other, “linking” arms. Each set of partners should then spread out in the designated play area. The person who is “It” chases the person who was picked to run. The person who is being chased may “link” onto another person’s arm; this will make him/her safe. When he links onto this person, the partner of that person will be “bumped” off. If you are bumped, you must let go of your partner and begin to run - now you are being chased! The person who is “It” will now chase the new person until he “links” onto another pair and “bumps” off the partner on the end. If a person is tagged, the chased person becomes “It” and the former “It” will be chased. Materials: ball, blindfolds, lots of leaves Players: small to medium groups Blind Fetch How to Play: Find a play area with lots of leaves spread out over grass. Split into two or three teams and assign one person from each team to be blindfolded first. Then blindfold the chosen player from each group and have all players stand behind a designated line. Have one person throw a ball out into the middle of the play area, right into the leaves (it is alright if the ball gets covered by leaves). Then the blindfolded player must carefully venture into the play area in search of the ball. Their teammates may try to help by yelling directions. If a player finds the ball, he/she must return to their team while still blindfolded to win one point. Then all players return to the line; another player from each team will be blindfolded; and the next round will begin. Or try this: Assign three points to the team whose member brings the ball back while blindfolded; assign one point to any blindfolded person’s team if he tags another blind folded player! Play to an agreed upon number! Seasonal Activities 41
