Fathers Day Project 2013

Here’s how to create a Father’s Day Project of your own:

1) Draw a portrait of Dad

2) Follow this worksheet which you will turn into individual pages as seen in the video. Younger children might need help coming up with similes. You can guide them by suggesting…”Hmmm…dad is pretty strong…what is a strong animal that you can think of that we can compare to Dad?” Some examples are: He is as busy as a bee. He is as funny as a hyena.

3) Then type each line of the worksheet onto a separate piece of paper.

4) You can use a camera phone or any other type of video camera to film. Practice with children taking their time with switching the papers. Have them watch the video of the final project so that they can see what they are trying to achieve.

5) Send to Dad on Father’s Day giving him a video that will melt his heart.
