Put your Best Face Forward!
Meet Stretch, the cowpoke with a face to please everyone!

Use your imagination to create your own cowpoke.

Here's an example to copy.

Corral your artists to draw and paint a faceless photo back drop, which you glue to cardboard, trim the edges, add a stand to stabilize, and take photos.

Get Down at the Hoedown
Stage a square-dance hoedown. Square dancing is a quick icebreaker, easy to learn, a lot of fun, and healthy to boot! Make it a contest by having students or parents try this call or make up their own:

Saddle up, now don't be shy,
Grab your hat and come on by.
There'll be books for each cowpoke —
Girl or boy or grown-up folk.
