We have been talking about personal space for awhile now but today we attended Personal Space Camp!! We read the book Personal Space Camp by Julia Cook. Afterwards we participated in a number of activities that helped reinforce our understanding of personal space. We used our mats as our personal space ships and discovered how big our personal space bubble should be. We started camp with all of us on a mat to see what it was like to be a space invader to begin with.
We couldn't even move our arms!
Later we got on our own space ships (mats) and saw how much bigger our bubbles can be.
Later we made ourselves our own Personal Space Ship complete with our space bubble.
At the end of the day we received our diplomas for Personal Space Camp!
Love this idea! Will try it with my k-3 ESY social skills group!
