Camp Name: Mythical Creatures Age Group: 1st/2nd grade Description: Campers will enter a world of magic as they read, draw, and create all sorts of creatures. From and sea to and , campers will get to explore all the creatures from storybooks and their wildest imagination! Daily plan: Monday-Thursday we will begin each day with a book that focuses on a mythical creature. We will then have an art activity focused on the creature followed by a game that somehow incorporates a feature of the creature. Finally, we will finish the day by working on our “Book of Mythical Creatures” where the students will be able to color, cut and paste pictures of the daily creature into a journal and write a little about what they learned. Example of a Monday-Thursday class: Creature(s) of the Day: and 830-850: Start the day

• Get settled in and read How to Catch a and Pegasus, the Flying Horse • Discuss the similarities and differences between the two horse-like creatures using a Venn diagram on the board 850-950: Art time

• Students may choose to focus on one of the creatures, or explore both • Mixed Media Unicorn head (newspaper, cardstock for base and head stencil, colorful yarn, glitter glue, google eye)

o • Movable Pegasus (paper plate, brads, colorful paper with outlines of features preprinted for easy cutting, google eye) o Change features to be more horse-like than -like

o • Coloring pages of each animal for extra time (examples linked)

950-1015am: Snack time

• We will use this time to clean up, get snack from the snack cart or our lunch boxes, use the bathroom, refill water bottles, etc.) 1015-1050am: Time outside on the playground or grassy area

• While the children will have some free play time, we will also play the games below: o Pin the Tail on the Unicorn o Unicorn/Pegasus tag § Campers have a balloon on a string. Attached to the balloon are three streamers (the tail). Campers try to grab streamers off other’s balloons. The last camper who still has streamers on their balloon wins! 1050-1115am: Cool down from outside and journal work (Journals created out of construction paper by teacher prior to camp)

• Example journal entry cut outs on next page 1115-1130am: Clean up and getting ready for carpool

FRIDAY CAMP: While Friday’s camp will largely follow the same schedule and pattern, the focus will be on the the Gryphon (part , part ) and on how the combination of these animals gave it unique powers. Campers will have access to multiple art products and extended time to create their own creature (wonderful or terrifying) by combining aspects of creatures we discussed or ideas from their own imagination. Together we will decide what kind of powers it has, what its purpose is, and how it may help humanity. We will review how the creatures covered previously all had a purpose or symbol (purity of the unicorn, helping fight monsters for Pegasus) and help each other create backstories for our creatures.

The Unicorn is a that looks like a horse with a large, spiral horn on its forehead. Often pictured as UNICORNS a pure white horse, it is a symbol of purity and grace. Many think that its horn has magical healing powers. My favorite thing about the unicorn is:
