Scottish Counting. How many?
Hide small plastic toys in a tray of lentils or oatmeal. Count how many toys you can find. Match your number word with the written number.
Scottish Food
Help someone at home prepare some Scottish foods to eat. It might be porridge, shortbread, pancakes, haggis, a scotch pie, oatcakes and cheese or heating up a tin of lentil soup! Enjoy a taste and try. The smells are good too.! Before you eat your Scottish fare you could maybe recite the Selkirk Grace. This is the prayer normally said before you eat your meal at a Burn’s Supper which is a celebration of the poet Robert Burn’s life and work.
Some hae meat and canna eat,
And some wad eat that want it;
But we hae meat, and we can eat,
And sae let the Lord be thankit.
Tartan Car Track Painting
Design a new tartan for Burns night. Use toy cars dipped in paint to roll on the coloured lines.
