Program Description
Join us for a fun virtual adventure on the farm! This interactive story comes to life through movement, song and rhyme. Students stretch their bodies and minds as they discover what it’s like to spend a day on the farm from sunrise to sunset. Students also learn breathing techniques, mindfulness exercises and meet a few farm animal friends.
Note: This program is virtual via Zoom Workplace.

Teacher Tips
In this program students will be led through gentle stretches and movements. All exercises will be done on the spot where they are sitting. Please ensure there is lots of space in the classroom. You may need to push aside any tables, chairs and desks to make room. A carpeted area can also help keep students comfortable while moving.
An educator from the museum will connect with your classroom using Zoom Workplace videoconferencing software. Through your web camera and the chat feature, the educator will see and interact with the students throughout the session. See the Planning Your Virtual Field Trip document for tips and tricks for connecting with your class.
