Feed the ducks Activity
Going out for activities helps tamariki understand more about the world.
Why do it?
- Going out helps children get to know about the world beyond home.
- It helps children find out about different animals.
- It helps them feel part of the community.
- It develops new language and give us new things to kōrero about.
How to do it
You’ll need: Oats (uncooked), rice (any type, cooked or uncooked), veggie trimmings (chopped up) and some hungry local ducks!
- Find a river or pond nearby that you could walk to.
- When you arrive, find some ducks and share out your food.
- Try to get some to the ducks who are missing out!
Extra: See how far you can throw the food. Or throw them all in- a kai scramble!
