Learning about the 4th

On the 4th of July Tom had to work so I thought it would be fun to teach Sawyer about the 4th of July. My main attempt was to get him familiar with fireworks because he hates them. We are trying to get him to not be so scared of them so we played some fun activities that involved pictures of firecrackers.


He first had to trace the dotted line (in various line shapes) from the firecracker to the "boom".


He then had to play a dice game. Each time he tossed the dice he had to put an "x" on the piece of paper with the picture that matched.



He then took 5 American Flags (there was also a set with a picture of a Firecracker on it that he did as well) and put them in order from smallest to largest.



Our final activity involved circling the picture that was different from the other three pictures.
