Cattle Drive: History - Hands On
Cowboys riding their horses across the prairie taking huge herds of cattle to market, sleeping under the stars as coyotes howl in the nightit's a scene familiar to all and especially beloved by children. Almost all boys, and many girls, at some point in their young lives dream of being cowboys. But most don't have any idea how hard those cowboys had to work or what dangers and discomforts they faced along the trail. This book will help students put themselves in the place of the cowboy and learn some of the details behind the exciting life-style.
Students will learn how to make and throw a lariat (lasso) and how to read a cattle brand. They'll make a wanted poster, work together on a cattle drive mural and discover how important the right equipment was (cowboy hat, chaps, etc.). They'll cook and eat chili, cowboy style, play rodeo games and learn special cowboy words. Teachers are provided with background information, source materials and resources.
All the little pardners in your class will enjoy spending some time in the old west learning about the rough and tough life of the cowboy. So, get along, little doggies, for a western adventure that's real!
