Talk to the children about different types of clothes that are worn during summer when it is hot out. Discuss short sleeved dress, swim trunks, tank tops, etc. For fun you could have a bag filled with different clothes you would wear in different kinds of weather. Pull out wintery clothes and ask, “Would you wear this in the summer?” Keep pulling out more winter clothes saying things like, “This is definitely something I’d wear in the summer right?” Some children will think it is so funny and it’s fun for you to do too. Then start pulling out some items that you would wear in the summer saying, “Would you wear this in the summer?” Allow children to talk about why they wear certain clothing in different season.
If you’d like to try an experiment you can talk to the children about how the sun can affect our skin if we don’t wear sunblock. As an experiment, use construction paper to act as our skin if we didn’t use sunblock. Leave the construction paper in a sunny place for a week. You can use a sheet of construction paper (I would use like a blue, or black, red, something dark) and then when the week or few day’s are over you can compare it to the same color of paper that was left inside and was not in the sun. You could also put an object on top of the paper and see if it leaves it’s shape behind when left in the sun for a few day’s. Remove the object when you bring it inside to look at the paper. This will demonstrate what could happen to our skin without sun block on.

When the Samaritan man found the man hurt on the side of the road he helped him. He cleaned up his wounds, owies, and boo-boos, and put bandages on him. Print out the art pattern that is in the shape of a person. You can trace it onto a different color of construction paper if you’d like and cut it out.
The children can draw eyes, nose, a mouth and add bandages to their person. They could even draw the wounds and then cover them with their bandages. For the bandages you can spread them out on the table and they can use as many as they’d like or you can have them count out a certain number to use. Allow the children to try to open the bandages up on their own as this is a great fine motor skill. Of course, if they need help you can help them. When they are finished have them help put the wrappers in the garbage.

Flowers are something we love to see in the summer! We are going to make flowers out of coffee filters. Provide coffee filters, eyedroppers, and food coloring. Encourage the children to drop small drops of food coloring on their coffee filters. When dry, the children add stems to their coffee filters. They can tap a green pipe cleaner stem to their flower or they can cut a piece of green construction paper to be a stem and tape it to their flower. Here is a video you can watch for more information
