Columbus day is coming.
Colour this pictures to learn more about this day.
The three ships all together.
Play the game "Race to the new world"... you don't need a PSP or computer.
You need:
- Large plastic tub.
- Adhesive vinyl paper in various colours.
- Clear adhesive vinyl.
- Scissors.
- Waterproof markers.
- Foam blocks.
- Toothpicks.
To make the game, draw the scenes of Christopher Columbus' journey from the Old World to the New World on adhesive paper.
You may first want to stick a strip of blue adhesive paper around the top 4 to 5 inches of a deep plastic tub to look like the sky.
Then you can draw things like islands with palm trees, clouds, birds, fish jumping into the air, sailboats, and pirate ships on more adhesive paper. Do some research to find out what else Columbus might have seen on his journey.
Cut out the figures you drew, and stick them onto the blue paper. Label one side "Old World" and the opposite side "New World" with waterproof markers.
When you have finished creating your scene, cover the whole thing with clear adhesive paper. Then fill the tub with water to just a little below the bottom edge of the adhesive paper.
Make Columbus's boats next: the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria.
Make each boat by poking a toothpick into a small foam block.
You can use more adhesive paper to cut a sail for each boat. Label each boat with its name.
If you like, decorate the boats with waterproof markers or more adhesive paper.
Now you are ready to race. Line up the boats in the Old World and blow them over to the New. Which boat will get there first?
