STUDENT ACTIVITES





1.  Using a small styrofoam meat tray(from your local grocer) the children will make a mural of sea
     creatures.  Children can glue sand to make an ocean floor.  Provide children with small sea
     creatures  to color and cut to glue on tray.  Allow children to use green tissue paper to form
     seaweed to add to mural.  Small seashells collected at the ocean may be glued on the mural.
     After the student has completed his mural the teacher will wrap blue Saran Wrap around the
     mural to make it appear as an underwater scene.

2.  Put children into groups of four.  Using butcher paper, tempera paint, and sponges(cut in
     shapes of  sea animals) the children can construct an underwater mural.  If sponges can not be
     used, the teacher could provide paper cut-outs of sea creatures to create the mural.

3.  Using 12-18 piece of white construction paper, allow children to paint waves across the paper.
      After these have dried, allow children to use sponge cut-outs of sea creatures (turtles, giekos,
      fish, etc.) to paint animals on the waves. (It should look like a sea mural)  Roll the paper and
      staple.  Add 5" strips of colored tissue paper and attach to bottom.  Add string to the top and
      hang to make a windsock.  Use to decorate the room.

4.  Make blue jello in individual clear plastic cups.  Add gummy fish candy.  Let set until firm and
     eat.

5.  Additional activities from internet resources.
