What to do 1. Have the children tear newspaper into strips. Each pompom requires about 20 strips. 2. Staple the strips together on one end. Ask the children to hold the strips by that end while you attach a wooden stirrer with masking tape. Wrap the pompom and handle securely. 3. Have the children decorate the pompoms with markers. More to do More art: Paste magazine and newspaper pictures to poster board shapes and construct a mobile; attach photos of the children jumping rope, tumbling on a mat, or dribbling a ball. Use paper fasteners to make movable sports characters from poster board. Movement: Teach the children a pompom or jump rope routine to the tune of lively music. Science: Measure heart rates before and after dancing or jumping rope.
