Welcome to our Winter Olympics Team AKGVH: Ice Skating
Activities post!
If you missed our other Winter Olympics posts, DIG the quick
links:
We engaged in several Ice Skating activities during our Figure Skating
Unit and my wee ones had a ball performing them.
We made some ice skaters out of Peppa and George action figures along with
another character toy. We submerged their feet in a bowl of water and froze
them. Then we poured water on a cookie sheet, added a few drops of blue food
coloring and stirred it, and put the sheet in the freezer.
Now for the fun! We got our sheet and skaters out of the freezer
and set the sheet on the table. Turning our skaters upside down under hot
water, we loosened our skaters from their bowls and off they went.
They danced,
They spun,
Then the ice skaters took a rest and the farm critters took over. It
soon became quite apparent my wee babes had more fun creating their Ice Farm
Scene than spinning their skaters:
So, what happened to the ice skaters? Well, they wound up
in the turtle pool:
And what happened to the ice rink? I put the rink back into the
freezer for some later science experiments and observations. We hope you will visit
us again to observe what we did.
Our next ice skating activity got my wee ones moving as they slid across the wood floor on their wax paper “ice skates”. I traced their foot prints onto the wax paper and off they went:
If they lost their footing, they placed their foot back onto
their foot print:
They skated, twisted and twirled:
Another of our activities entailed an ice skater that I altered placing the face of my wee ones on the skater. I had my wee ones color the skater and while they
really were excited to color their skater, it is apparent they got carried away
with the scribbling scene.
After coloring (in the case of my wee ones, scribbling) our
skaters, I stapled them onto a piece of construction paper and cut them out.
Next taking a paper clip, I opened one end of the paper clip up and stretched
it out.
Next I took a face photo of my wee ones, sized it to fit the
face of the skater, printed it out, then cut it out and glued it to the skaters
blank face. After that, we glued the construction paper cut out and all along
with the paper clip area, then placed the skater on top pushing and squeezing
along the edges and around the paper clip area. We let them dry overnight.
Taking a magnet disk and using my trusty glue gun, I glued the
magnet disk onto the protruding paper clip piece. Now the skaters were ready to
skate. Getting my magnet box and a pizza pan, I placed the pizza pan over the
edges of 2 chairs. Next my wee babes placed their skaters on top of the pan and
moved them around the pan with a magnet placed under the pan. They absolutely
got a kick out of skating their l@@k alikes!
