Encourage the children to name a place in their neighborhood that they visit, such as a grocery store, the post office, a bakery or a gas station. Give the children construction paper, crayons and markers. Invite them to draw a picture of the neighborhood place they mentioned. Label each child's drawing. Tape children's drawings together, creating a square or rectangular patchwork of pictures. Cover both sides of the patchwork with clear contact paper. Then make a spinner out of cardboard. Write the name of each place shown in the patchwork on the spinner. During outdoor time, the children can have fun placing their arms and legs on the different neighborhood places as you spin the arrow and call them out.
