Jumping In Puddles Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Grades 1-3, boys and girls will be attending. The theme for this meeting is "dogs". Everything I've come up with so far is kind of boring. I want some fun, informative, riveting activities. Is that too much to ask? :lol: Thank you!

When I was in 1st grade, a gentleman brought a whole troop of performing poodles to our school. I was enthralled! They jumped rope, pushed a baby carriage, etc. If there are any farms (sheep, cattle) nearby you might find someone who trains working dogs. I'm always amazed at how the master-dog relationship works :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to ask around too for working dogs... I know my sons cub scout troop had a 4 legged soldier come to the pack meeting, maybe he would bring his dog to our group. Thank you Cynthia!

Pippen Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Our 4-H group had a policeman bring in a police dog and give a talk and demonstration to the kids. It was a big hit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simka2 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can you set up a "mock" obstacle course, for the kids to go thru? And then have a training printout they can take home? It could be as simple as...under a table, thru a line of chairs, jump a small box, climb thru one of those accordian tunnel things (or a sheet drapped over something.) You could even have ribbons and a fake judge ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll add that to the list of possibilities, thanks! Can you set up a "mock" obstacle course, for the kids to go thru? And then have a training printout they can take home? It could be as simple as...under a table, thru a line of chairs, jump a small box, climb thru one of those accordian tunnel things (or a sheet drapped over something.) You could even have ribbons and a fake judge ;) That is a good idea to keep the kids moving! Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
