Wonderland Preschool
Summer Program
2021
Week 1
Going to the Zoo:
Animals Around the World
7.7 – 9.7. 2021
During this week, we will learn all about different
animals and where in the world they live. Each day the
children will learn about different animals, where in the
world they live, and some interesting facts about them.
They will be learning a song all week, which we will sing
in the morning circle and before transition times.
We will talk about what part of the world we’re in that
day and what animals we can find there. First, kids will
be shown a picture of that continent. Then, there will be
a box filled with the animals we would find there.
As a “warm up”, the teacher will make
different animal noises to give the kids
clues of what animals we may be
learning about. The kids will guess and
then we will take that animal out of the
box until we have all of them.
Movement will be a big emphasis for this
week, and we will pair each animal with a
different movement so kids can be engaged +
associate their learning in a fun, interactive way.

Zoologická zahrada je jen chabá náhrada,
v pralese skotačit tu chuť nelze potlačit.
Přejte nám víc radosti chceme užít mladosti
v kleci jsme celý den, tak ať se taky zasmějem.

African Animals
The Children will learn about the cute gorillas,
zebras, giraffes, and brave lions, our kings of
the jungle.
Craft:
Kids will cut out shapes of the
different animals and then create the
pattern of that animal. For example,
they will flick black paint to create
zebras, finger paint spots to make a
giraffe, and fork paint to create lion
fur, etc.
Outside we will look at pictures
of different animal footprints. We
will then draw footprint trails
around the preschool and then
we will try to follow these trails
to see where they will take us.
Games:
We will play a game “run like a _____”
where teacher holds up a card or rolls a
dice with different animals on each side,
kids have to run around and act like the
animal in the picture. We will also
practice animal yoga poses. Maybe we
can try to make some animal poses of
our own.
Day 2, Thursday
Europe, the Arctic, and the Nordic Animals
Today we will explore the different habitats of
Europe, the Arctic and Antarctica. Through short
stories we will learn which animals live there, what
do they eat, and how do they move.
Games and craft projects: Let’s play animal
pantomime. Guess which animal am I presenting.
Next, we will practice our animal yoga routine
with the help of video Trip to the ZOO – yoga
with Artánek and we will also make a Monkey
trail to test our skills. When we get tired from all
of the exercise it will be time to sit at the table
and make our own animal pairs game.
Day 3, Friday
Hurray to Nature
In the morning we will turn into true explorers and
venture to the Vestec pond. Like a true explorer,
we will study the fauna and flora that we
encounter along the way. Don’t forget to take a
magnifying glass with you to help you find even
the smallest creatures from the animal kingdom.
However, we will not forget to play on the natural
playground next to the pond.
In the afternoon we will have a
little rest and make paper animal
masks. Before we go home, we
will announce the winner of a Best
Animal Mask Competition.

friends experience many adventures together as
they try to live like us humans. Every day after
lunch we will read one of their stories.
Day 1 Monday Hello to Doggie and Pussycat Today we will meet the dog and the cat. The books are wonderful and contain many wonderful stories. First, we will look at the cover of the book, the pictures inside and also who wrote and illustrated the book. The story of How It Was at Christmas will help us find out who the author and illustrator really are. We will make paper masks of the dog and cat from paper plates and we will of course not forget to play as well. After all, cats and dogs love to do that. In the afternoon we will make our own books with the help of crayons, pictures from magazines and stamps. We will play the game Dog, Dog, Cat and learn the song Cat and a dog.

The Trip

We will head to the dendrological garden of Průhonice.
The story of how the dog tore his pants starts like this: It was
a beautiful Sunday and the dog, and the cat went for a walk.
It's only Tuesday, but that won't stop us.
We will go on a trip to the Dendrological Garden in Průhonice.
Hopefully we won't tear our pants like a dog along the way. We
will explore the garden and play in the pirate playground.
Do you know how the cat repaired the dog's pants? No? We'll find
out after lunch. We will also make a color patch for dog pants.
Day 3 Wednesday How a Doggie and a Pussycat Baked a Cake We all probably know the story of how a dog and a cat baked a cake. They didn't do exactly twice. We will try it too and I will certainly do better. We will make a chocolate cupcake with vanilla cream and colorful decorations. We will not forget to add a picture of a dog and a cat on top. Here is a recipe for our goodness: https://www.flourarrangements.org/2016/05/simple- chocolate-cupcakes/
Day 4 Thursday About a Doll That Cried Very Quietly In this fairy tale, a dog and a cat find a lost doll and take it home. They want to cheer her up and bring her many toys that the children have lost outside. They are playing beautifully with the doll. Everyone loves games and toys. I bet you do too. Did you know that toys can also be made from things we have at home? We will show you how and everyone will make a toy today, which they will be able to take home. Maybe we can make a ball bouncing into a cup, or a toy car from a roll of toilet paper. For outside play, we prepare skittles from plastic bottles.
Day 5 Friday
How Doggie and Pussycat Washed Their Floor
On our last day we will have fun with science. How does
science go together with washing the floor. It does of
course. Come and find out. Doggie has a rough coat and
Pussycat soft. Which coat do you think soaks up more
water and is better for drying up the floor? We will find out
in our soak and wring experiment. And now to the soap.
Did you ever make bubbly soap without using water?
We will show you how. Making bubbles
with soap is fun and we will try this too.
We will even make pictures with
colourful bubbles. Can you walk on

a sprinkler that is turned on during summer.

little bit longer)

their creativity and create to their heart’s desire. We
cannot wait to give the children a whole week to let
their imaginations run wild as they explore the many
different art styles and techniques. By the end of the

potential.Day 1 Monday
On our very first day, we want to give the children an
introduction to all art techniques. We will present art
styles such as crayon drawing, watercolor painting, and
abstract painting through the use of unusual materials. But
of course, we want the children to have fun while they
learn! Therefore, this day will include lots of movement
and hands-on learning, including a color wheel game,
a "color Twister" dye game, a shaving cream and
painting sensory game, and gathering time
outside to collect natural materials that will be
used the very next day.Day 2 Tuesday Our second day is all about working with natural materials. We will imitate the wind by blowing colors through a straw, match natural materials to a color wheel, and create our very own 3D collage as we listen to the nature sounds around us. We are very excited for the children to see that they can create beautiful artwork using the world around them while enjoying the bright, sunny weather of the summer at the same time.

the sounds, colors, smells, feelings, sights, and tastes of
the day so that they can perfectly memorialize it down on
paper.Day 4 Thursday

Who knew that art could also include
physical movement? This day we will enjoy
moving our bodies while we continue to
stretch our creative minds. This day will be
all about singing songs, playing

last but not least, creating a balloon out of
colored paper and newspapers that will fly
high up into the sky!Day 5 Friday Unfortunately, it is our last day. However, we will create works of art that last a lifetime!
