When
you get back from the Mystic Seaport you can:
Create
your own fishing game at home.Have
the children make their own fish out of paper and use a stick, pencil or any
long, thin object with string and a paper clip attached to catch them.
Make
a boat out of a big cardboard box.Let
the children use their imagination to design and decorate the boat.Use a broomstick and a pillowcase for the sail and mast and a pie plate
for the ship’s wheel. Make sailor's hats out of newspaper and sail the
mighty seas!
Talk
about the differences in lifestyles between today and what they saw during
their visit. Do they think life is easier today? Do they wish
we did anything "the old way?"
