By using your imagination to determine the shape and materials, you will learn to think and improve your concentration skills. You will learn to cooperate with others when you have someone help you build the Tent City.
You will also discover patience when the "walls" fall down and you have to put them back up.
material needed:
chairs, blankets, and sheets
let's get started:
1. Choose a room in the house that has a lot or free space.
Place the chairs in the area they want to build their tent city in. Any number of chairs can be used. Two to four is usually a good number for
most spaces. The chairs can be placed across from each other - in a straight line - in a circle - or in no order.
2. Starting with the heaviest blanket or sheet, drape it over the chairs.
Continue draping the remaining ones using the chairs. Tying the ends around a doorknob or tucking it under another piece of furniture will add
more room.
3. When the Tent City is up, play inside it. You can pretend it's a fort in the wilderness, a home, a job or any other place you can think of.
