Song: Sing the traditional Australian animal song, written by music teacher Marion Sinclair: Kookaburra Sits in an Old Gum Tree. Plug the song title into a search engine to get the words to this popular tune.
Snack: Make an ANZAC biscuit. You can find an explanation of the food’s acronym and a simple recipe for the dough here.
Craft: Make an aboriginal bark painting. Here’s how:
- Gather several flat pieces of dry tree bark from your yard, as well as paintbrushes and paint.
- Paint a scene on the bark; common themes for bark paintings might include fish or other animals native to Australia.
- Let your painting dry for at least half an hour.
