Fun At the Fair

What is your favorite part of the fair? The animals? The food? The rides? These are just a few of the questions the children will answer during our next unit, “Fun At the Fair” During this unit, the experiences and activities will focus on agricultural fairs (e.g., 4H fairs/county fairs). Keep in mind that some children may not have experience with an agricultural fair. If this is the case for your group, you might want to start the unit with a short video such as this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGDHtH52PLk. If you choose to show this video, be sure to point out and read the text on the screen as it appears. If you happen to live in an area where this type of fair takes place, be sure to encourage the children to share their experiences. You will also want to have plenty of books available as well as videos to help children build background knowledge about this topic.
