HappyGrace Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 It's for my co-op: tough to find ideas for elementary age for this! It can be for any country in Eastern Europe. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyinNNV Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) A couple of polish playground games: http://www.polishsite.us/lifestyle-and-entertainment/games-and-puzzles/199--playground-games.html And cookies http://familyfun.go.com/recipes/family/feature/famf010501_ffcookie1/famf010501_ffpoland.html A neat idea for a very educational craft. Take thick cardstock and copy a map of Poland on one side and a famous painting by a Polish artist on the other side. You might want to have the kids label their own map, first in pencil then in pen. Next, have students draw on jigsaw shapes, first in pencil and then with sharpies. Then they cut out their puzzle. (or parent helpers do) Finally, have them put their puzzles together. First try with the map side. Then try with the portrait side. If you give the kids different paintings, they can take turns solving their friends' puzzles.

Chris in VA Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 How about stuffed cabbage? Ground hamburger, rice (cooked already), onion, a little garlic powder --(think stuffed peppers stuffing) --all browned together. Boil the cabbage and separate the leaves (you could do this ahead of time). Stuff and roll the cabbage leaves, cover with tomato sauce or slightly thick condensed tomato soup (add about 3/4 the amt of water you normally would when reconstituting the soup), and bake for "a while"--til hot thru, say, 20 mins.
