Farmington Valley Home Educators Group
is proud to announce
the
11th International Fair!
When: Saturday, April 14, 2012
Time: 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Where: Scout Hall Youth Center
28 Abbe Road, East Windsor, Connecticut
their website: http://www.scouthall.com/
Cost: $5 per child doing a display
(if you have multiple children working on 1 display the maximum cost would be $20 to register the kids)
registration fee includes passport and scavenger hunt
$1 each visitor
Events of the day:
8:30-9:30 a.m. set up tables in the hall
(I’ll need volunteers to help with this)
9:30-10:00 a.m. -- arrive and set up displays
10:00a.m.-1:00 p.m. -- Grab your passports and visit as many countries as you can! Fair is open to
public viewing.
12:45 p.m. -- drawing for prizes *details below*
1:00 p.m. -- take down displays, clean up the hall
***please plan to help us tidy up the hall
I will provide beverages, like water and juice, for sale at my cost. Students and their families will need to bring a picnic lunch to amend all the international dishes that are served at the displays.
Participating Students:
Choose a country and over the course of the next few months do research and create a display to present your findings. The displays can include, but are not limited to: maps, pictures, written research, currency and postage, hands on games, a prepared food dish, items originating from your country, costumes, and more. You will also need something representing your country with which to “stamp” your visitors’ passports. The hall has 43 six foot tables so there will be 2 countries per table unless you specify early on that you need a whole table, in which case I will reserve one for you. A trifold storyboard (available at Staples, Michael’s and many other office/school supply stores) is a very good way to display vertically.
Your passport is also included in your registration fee. I will hand those out when you arrive at the fair.
**I will also be collecting one trivia question with its answer from each of the kids who would like to participate in the “International Fair Scavenger Hunt”. I will need these at least a week or 2 before the fair so I can create the scavenger hunts. At the fair I will hand out copies of the scavenger hunt to anyone who wants to participate. Towards the end of the fair, say by 12:30, you need to hand them in to me so that I may use them to do a drawing of prizes for a few lucky kids at the close of the fair.
