This weeks lesson at Club Star was on the Utah Pioneers. The kids started the day with a Pioneer Day parade around the neighborhood.
Next, they played games that the Pioneer children enjoyed. Like three-legged races, wheel barrel races and leap frog.
The kids all made items that children used to make when they had extra materials. They had their choice of making a baseball, a bag for marbles or a corn husk doll.
Even treats required a lot of work before you could enjoy them. The kids pulled their own piece of taffy, ate hard tac, tasted rock candy and sampled beef and buffalo jerky. All of which, I might add, was made safe for the food allergic "pioneer" children.
It was a fun, hands-on lesson.
