Theme Area: Following a Dragon Trail

Related Episode: Dragonberry Drought

Subjects/Skills: Movement; Mapping

Materials Needed:
Construction paper
Index card
Scissors
Marker
Special treat, such as a game or puzzle that you can do together

Directions:
Cut out "dragon" footprints from the construction paper. Use them to create a trail that leads to a spot in your home.

At the end of the trail, leave a picture clue on an index card, for example, an arrow pointing to a bed.

Continue to create a trail of clues, alternating footprints and picture clues that lead to a hidden item, such as a new box of crayons. When you've finished setting up the trail of clues, ask your child to follow the clues to find a special treat.

After your child has discovered the hidden surprise, encourage her to hide something, and then make a trail of clues using the footprints and picture cards. You can then follow her trail to find the item that she has hidden!
