Attached is a summary of activities to conduct with the youth who are residing in temporary shelters and evacuation centers.
These activities have been taken from a larger publication used by Texas 4-H to support After School Programs.
The lessons are set up in a “say and do” format. Even if you do not have a background in working with children, you can lead these activities with youth.
The activities do not require any additional supplies.
Best wishes from Texas 4-H!
