Gold Rush
By KimberlySoCal

If you can find yourself the kind of pan they used to use for gold panning, you can have the students take turns sitting on their haunches and make-believe pan for a few minutes. It is not easy to sit like that, and when you explain miners would sit like that all day in the cold river, the kids realize how difficult life was for the gold miners. Also, at our local education store they had activity books on the gold rush, which we made into booklets for the kids to do after lunch.
