Field Trips and Resource Contacts

Rain Forest Day

Did you know that 80% of the world's food originated in the rainforest?  There are many easily accessible, rainforest related products to be used in a celebration.  

Some food items that could be used include:  coffee, corn, rice, ginger, chocolate, bananas, beans, mangoes, chewing gum, lemons, sweet potatoes, sugar, nutmeg, vanilla, tapioca, avocados, coconut, cinnamon, tea, pineapples, oranges, cashew nuts, macadamia nuts, and many, many more. 

This post provides many ideas to host your own Rain Forest day, including ways to decorate, refreshment ideas, and fun games to play.  A major success was the blow dart game using straws and q-tips dipped in paint!
