  1. The Cowboy Roundup By: Angela Peik

  2. Materials Needed • Horse on stick • Stuffed horses and cows • Cowboy/girl hat • Cowboy/girl boots

  3. Materials Needed (cont.) • Cardboard Box (Barn) • Building Blocks (Fence) or even lincoln logs • 2 or more Paper Towel Rolls • Red and Orange Tissue paper

  4. Materials Needed (cont.) • Sticks and Rocks • Pretend food (Hot dogs, hamburgers) • Cardboard cut out as Graham Crackers • Brown construction paper or felt • Cotton Balls

  5. Puppet • The Farmer Grandpa puppet. • Farmer Grandpa is here to tell the children what needs to be done and when. He’s had a lot of experience rounding up the animals so he’s here to help.

  6. Why and How They Should Be Used • The hats and the boots are for the children to wear, to become the Cowboy/girl. • Horses may go in-between their legs and they can pretend to ride the horse • The stuffed animals are out in the pasture and need to be round up for the evening • The barn is where the children can herd the animals into • Blocks can be built up like a fence for the animals

  7. Why and How to use (cont.) • The paper towel rolls are stacked like an “X”, to be the logs of the evening fire • Tissue paper can be crumbled up to be the flames • Sticks are for the children to pretend that they are cooking over the fire • The rocks are used to surround the fire • The hamburgers and hotdogs are used to pretend to cook and eat • As well as the smores’ materials can be “cooked” then ate

  8. Why and How (cont.) • All of the materials are included because they are what can be found on a ranch/farm or what a cowboy or cowgirl would wear. Which is the same explanation as to how it relates to the theme. • With this activity children are going to be able to explore the world and life outside of their own • They will be learning what a cowboy/girl is, what they do and wear • The children will also learn about the importance of taking care of the animals and making sure that they have shelter for the night • They are also learning about cooking over a fire and being able to eat outdoors

  9. The materials can be kept in this toy box so that the children have access to it whenever they’d like to play with anything

  10. Reading • In order to get the children reading in this activity their can be a list of all the different types of animals that need to be round up of for the night, so that the children can read the list and they could even check off which ones they’ve collected.

  11. Writing Skills • Writing can be brought to this dramatic play by having the children start out the activity by making a “task list” or “to do list” that the cowboys/girls have to finish before the sun sets that day. As they complete the tasks the children can come back to the list and mark off what they have completed.
