After reading The Wonderful Wizard of Oz and watching the movie, our class decided to celebrate by holding Wizard of Oz day! A great time was had by all. Mr. Kelly’s class joined us for a full day of festivities. The goal of the day was to earn your Oz badges: Courage, Heart, Brains and There’s No Place Like Home. Wondering what the kids had to do?
To earn a Courage Badge, they had to get up in front of the class and sing a song from the Wizard of Oz.
To earn a Heart Badge, they each had to do a kind deed for a friend or family member.
To earn a Brains Badge, they had to earn 5 points in Wizard of Oz Trivia.
To earn the Home Badge, they had to learn their address and tell why they love their home.
In the afternoon, we followed the Yellow Brick Road (the front sidewalk) and completed 5 stations:
Pin the Heart on the Tinman
Mapping Oz
Tornado in a Jar
We’re Off to Roll the Wizard (math game)
Wizard of Oz Activity Station
The kids were wonderful in their costumes and thoroughly enjoyed the day. Enjoy these pictures from our adventures!
