Activities
Guessing games were popular among Native American children.
Step 1: Spread a blanket on the floor and invite children to sit with you in a circle on the blanket.
Step 2: Hold two clay balls in your closed hand. Pass one to the child to your right, without letting the child see which ball you have passed.
Step 3: Ask the child to guess which color ball you have passed. If the child guesses correctly, give him both balls. This child then passes one clay ball to the next child.
Step 4: That child will guess which color ball has been passed. If this child guesses correctly, both balls are passed to her and the game continues. If the child guesses incorrectly, she moves out of the circle and the game continues.
Step 5: Play the game until one child is left in the circle.

Step 2: Provide children with paper and drawing materials. Ask children to draw a picture about their dream or wish.
Step 3: During meeting time, invite several children a day to share their drawings with the class. Encourage children to guess what their classmates' drawings may be about. Ask each child to tell about her special dream or wish. Children can also play charades and act out their dreams and wishes.
Step 4: Display children's drawings and include a dictated or written description.
Remember: It may be hard for some children to remember their dreams or identify a wish. Help children to brainstorm and ask lots of questi
