We recently got back from a long trip. Of course just sitting there for 13 some odd hours I had plenty of time to be creative. So on our way back I thought of an idea for my daughter for our next field trip. The idea was actually from my husband and son playing one of their favorite games..."Copy Cat." My son loves to yell out "copy cat" and my husband then replies, "Ditto Dog," "Repeating Parrot" or "Recap Rabbit!"
I thought this was a great idea to apply to our daughters school work. On a field trip she will play "Copy Cat" by copying down facts she reads along the way. Then we will play "Ditto Dog" where I will give her a word or phrase that means the same as the facts she copied down. "Repeating Parrot" will simply be us later repeating the main facts. Last but not least, "Recap Rabbit" will be like an end of the Unit review from several trips. So for your summer vacations or field trips keep this little fun idea in mind!
