We are going to learn about the clothes that Cowboys and Cowgirls wear. You can gather information and pictures to show the children.Here is some information on Wikipedia on Wester Wear for you to look up to gather more information about. If you do some some real items to show they children that they can touch or wear that will help them to understand the clothes better.
The clothes or western wear that Cowboys or Cowgirls wear are good for working on the range.
Let’s talk about a bandanna first. Bandanas are around the neck and used for wiping up sweat around their face and keeping dust out of their face and could also be used to stay warm. Chaps are worn to protect their legs while riding on a horse. A cowboy hat with a wide brim is worn to protect them from the sun. Cowboy boots usually have a high top and are worn to protect the lower part of the legs. The pointed part of the boot helps to guide the foot into the stirrup and the high heels help to make sure the foot doesn’t slip through the stirrup. Gloves are worn to give protection to the cowboys hands when hold barbed wire or other things that may be sharp or hurt their hands. Jeans that are tight or close-fitting are good to wear so that they won’t get caught on a bush or equipment keeping their legs protected.

Here is an activity that you can do with children for the letter K. Have children try to think of something that starts with the letter K or sounds like the letter K. Some of the things they say may start with the letter C and that is okay, they may also say things that start with other letters and that is okay as well. You can help them think of words that start with the letter K but anyway they are working on letters and the sounds they make is great.
You can have children sit in a circle and make sure each child has a turn to fill in the blank. You can say "When I go riding on the range I always take my _____" and have the children fill in the blank. You can write this information down during or after talk about cowboys/cowgirls. Could write what they say and then ask why you would take that with you just to reinforce what has been learned.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of 2 Kings. When you find 2 Kings in the new testament look for the number 4 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see 2 Kings 4. We are looking for verse 5, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 4.”
After looking at the Bible show them “1 Kings 4:5” written out on their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet. To see and hear all of the Books that make up the Bible watch this fun, short video, The Books of the Bible, by Readeez!
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.

Today you have the choice to do one or two art projects! A cowboy boot and a sheriff's badge.
For the first project the children are going to decorate a Cowboy Boot with rope. Yeehaw! Make sure you watch the video so that you know what you need to have ready for this art project. If children are interested in cutting out their own boot encourage them to do so, if they are not interested that is okay. If they need some help cutting take their hand in yours and help them to use the scissors properly. Once the boot is cut out it is time to pick up the rope, dip it in paint and lay it down on the boot and repeat the process. Children are working their small motor skills to build the muscles in their hands when cutting and picking up the rope with their pincher fingers and laying it down on the boot then picking it up again. The more paint they get on the rope the more design that will be left behind on the boot when the pick up the rope. You can even talk about the print that is left on the boot when the rope is picked up.
Our second project, making a Sheriff’s Badge, is a fun way to talk about the Wild Wild West and the role of a sheriff. Make sure you watch the video to get some ideas on how to make the badge.
