Activities

All of the activity centres listed below are accessible to all children at the Festival. For most of the activities we have attempted to include the most relevant learning expectations from the Ontario curriculum. These lists of learning expectations are not exhaustive. By providing some of these learning expectations we intend to assist teachers in identifying activities which best suit their grade level and program. Some activities are described as 'open' to all grades because the visiting presenters have not identified specific Ontario Curriculum learning expectations.

The activity centres are grouped into five themes. Many of the activities could belong to several or all of the five themes; however, one predominant theme has been identified for each activity, to facilitate either the focused or diverse itinerary.
