Theme: Dinosaur Train, Sporting Event Audience: Camp, Ages 4-5 Part 1: Opening Ceremony (1 hour, 15 minutes) PLAY Dinosaur Train: Opening Ceremony This game introduces the Dinosaur Train crew as they begin their own Classic in the Jurassic, Jr. challenge. The dinosaurs are divided into two teams: the Claw Stars and the Prehistoric Predators. Tell your children that they’re going to help the Claw Stars complete their first challenge. Gather children at your computer or interactive whiteboard so everyone can see. Leader: Get ready for a week of Dinosaur Train fun! We’re going to spend the week playing games with the characters from Dinosaur Train, learning about measurement, and doing lots of physical activities. Let’s watch this introduction to Classic in the Jurassic, Jr. and get some clues about what’s in store for us. Are you ready? Let’s get started! As a class, follow the directions, and sort the dinosaurs based on diet, color, size and other physical features. Have children take turns clicking on the appropriate dinosaurs, and ask the class to count aloud as dinosaurs are selected. Ask children to explain their choices. Leader: How did you know those were the biggest/smallest dinosaurs? How can you tell these dinosaurs have the longest necks? After playing game, divide the children into two teams and explain that they will participate in similar events during the week. Leader: We’re going to participate in our own “Classic in the Jurassic, Jr.” event this week. That means we’re going to do some fun, sporting activities just like our friends on Dinosaur Train. We’ll use both our brains and our bodies to complete the challenges. We’re going to start by breaking into teams. You’ll work with your team the entire week to complete the Classic in the Jurassic, Jr. challenges. Vocabulary Hints for Leaders Prehistoric: relates to the time Help children line up shortest to tallest and assign every other child to Team A or Team B. before people lived here Once the teams are grouped together, identify Team A as the Claw Stars and Team B as the Prehistoric Predators. Predators: an animal that lives by eating other animals EXPLORE Team Flags The first task for the Claw Stars and the Prehistoric Predators is to create a team flag. Show the children the sample team flag you decorated. Distribute flag materials, art supplies and a flagpole to each team, and prompt each team to create a flag. Children may write their team name on the flag, or you may choose to write team names in advance. Remind the children that team flags should be carried to each sporting event during the week. 5 Powered by a Ready To Learn Grant Topic: Measurement Summer Adventure! Theme: Dinosaur Train, Sporting Event Audience: Camp, Ages 4-5 Part 1: (continued) Next, give each child a loose leaf ring and a Golden Laurel Leaves. Prompt the children to write their name on the leaf. Help them attach the leaf to the ring and fasten it to their belt loop or other article of clothing so it doesn’t get lost. Tell the children they will collect Golden Laurel Leaves at the end of each sporting event to celebrate their participation. Once the team flags are ready, organize each team behind their flag for an opening ceremony parade. Announce each child’s name and have them parade around the classroom. Hints and Tips for Leaders Keep Going! If you have more time, explore the following resources: Remember to collect the leaf rings from each child before they go home each day.

As part of the Henson marketing strategy, a brand identity was created through a new logo, choice of typefaces, and color palette. This new style was implemented across letterhead, business cards, one sheets, mailers, print ads, presentations and e-newsletters. As the Graphic Designer working on this project, I wished to encapsulate both the visual feel of the lot as well as its classic history. The red, brown, and blue draw respectively from the brick buildings and courtyard, the Tudor architectural façade, and open blue sky iconic of the lot. The design of the “H,” inspired by early set design typical of Chaplin-era productions, speaks to the function of the soundstage while subtly referencing the world-famous Hollywod Sign itself.
