African Safari Simulation


Elements:

1. Check out African wildlife video from library.
2. Have kids build a safari jeep in living room.
3. After starting safari, have kids use binoculars and digital camera while video is playing. Probably best to keep the sound off on the video so kids are not constrained by narrator.
4. Have African-themed snacks available during safari.
5. Make lion/wildlife masks (look online for guidance).
6. Look up African recipes online for meals.
7. Study maps of Africa during meals.

Kids loved this activity, but were least enthusiastic about the Kenyan-style rice and beans we had for lunch afterward.
