Wednesday: Fun and Games: Toys and Games of the Pioneers
Children will be given a presentation on the toys and games of the pioneers.
Toy Making: Children will make a pioneer toy of their own called a buzz-saw which they will be able to take home with them at the end of the day.
Time and weather permitting, we will go outside to play some pioneer games including Hopscotch, Marbles, Drop the Handkerchief, etc. If the weather is bad, we will stay inside and play jacks, cards, etc.

Thursday: The Dutch Settlers
Children will be told about the Dutch settlers who came to Canada after World War II, and why Holland sends us thousands of Tulip bulbs each year as a thank you for us helping their royal family during the war.
Craft time: Children will learn how to make a beautiful origami tulip. We will also discuss the use of windmills in Holland, and make pinwheels.
Time and weather permitting we will go outside to test out the pinwheels, and play some games.

Friday: The Osgoode Township
Children will be given a presentation about the history of the Osgoode Township and the important people and places that make the area what it is today.
Children will be given a black and white picture of the Osgoode Township crest, and we will talk about what each item in the crest symbolizes, and what the official colour is of each item. Children will then have some time to colour the crest.
We will then play a game of History Bingo based on the Osgoode Township.
If time permits, we will take a tour of the agricultural building and complete a scavenger hunt activity.
