Here you will find all the resources for the activity calendar. Note that not every single day has something on it. Below, I’ve added links, downloads of printables, additional info, etc. for the items on the calendar, and during the month, I’ll add more or updated info. It will be a continuing work in progress. For instance, if something says: Coming Soon!, that just means that I will have the entire resource ready by the date on the calendar. Or there will be times that all the dates are not on there at the beginning of the month, but more will be added throughout the month. You get the idea.

  • 10th – Game – Heartfelt Music Game – Get some paper hearts (or any other type you want – craft foam, plastic, wood, etc.) and place them around the room. You can place them on tables or chairs, on the wall, on the floor or anywhere they can be seen and reached by all the players. Make sure you have one less heart than the number of players. Choose some music to play. Have each player gather in the middle of the room. Start playing the music. As you do, the players will wander around the room but cannot stop moving. When the music stops, each player tries to put his/her hand on a heart. Only one player can touch each heart. The person who does not have a heart to touch is out. Take away one heart, and play another round. The last player in wins the game. You can alter the game by announcing a specific movement for each round. (Ex. Have the players jump for one round. Have them keep one hand on top of their head during another round.)

  • 25th – Explore Online – Use Google Translate to learn how to say I Love You in different languages. You could look up languages that your ancestors may have spoken.

The rest is for teaching purposes.) This way you go a bit deeper exploring online.
