 Imagine what the street
you live on would look like.
One activity is to have your child draw what your street looks like now with
trees, cars and house – then have them draw the street as what it probably
looked like before. There will be many more trees; maybe the entire street
was covered with trees a long time ago! Have them draw people walking across
the country, through the forests, walking with their entire family to the
next place they would live.
You can talk about the
changes people have gone through to get where we are today. Houses had to be
built, and almost everything that is used in the common household had had
to be invented! Imagine using handmade tools, sending scouts out to find
enemies, hunting for foods, picking berries and living off the land.
Life is so different now
this activity could be applied to anything in your life: walking or riding
horses to somewhere rather than driving, hunting rather than going to the
grocery store.
