Want a way to get your kids outside in May?! Have the kids burn off energy, get some physical fitness and learn about agriculture in the process! Baseball & Agriculture
You can also check out the Baseball and Agriculture activity from Illinois Ag in the Classroom. Do your students know how dependent the nation's pastime is on agriculture? Make the charm and see just how connected agriculture is to sports! Additional outdoor (or indoor) agriculture activities:
- May 14th is Chicken Dance day! Find a copy of that song and boogie down!
- How about an agricultural rodeo? Have your students try their hands at roping, herding and milking. (No real animals required-except your students!)
- Finally, how about Bouncing Beans? Who knew there were so many kinds of beans (and so many ways kids could act out bean traits)?
