Summer Outdoor Fun: Smoothies

Shark Island: Dancing Together

1.     “Shark Island”: Islands (beach towels) and fake sharks were spread out on the floor. When the music played, the students danced around the beach towels. When the music stopped, they found an island to stand on. With each stoppage of the music, the island got smaller (fold towel). The kids had fun to share the islands and to save each other from the sharks in the water.

2. Small group project “Orange Banana Smoothie”: Today, we had a lot of fun preparing our summer smoothies. First, we discussed what we like to eat when it is hot outside. Ice cream and popsicles were on the top of our list.

Here is our smoothie recipe (6 servings):

• 3 cups freshly squeezed orange juice (8 oranges)
• 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
• 2 cups strawberries, tops removed, and cut in 1/2
• 3 ripe bananas, cut 

Combine the orange juice, lime juice, strawberries, and bananas in a blender and process until smooth. 

We all worked together to make our smoothies. The smoothies were delicious. Yummy!
