Desert-themed Activities for Kids

July's momstown curriculum theme of the month is Desert!

Did you know?

• Around one third of the Earth's surface is covered in deserts.
• Only around 20% of the deserts on Earth are covered in sand - many of the ice free regions of the Arctic and Antarctic are known as polar deserts.
• The original meaning of the word desert is 'an abandoned place'.

Here are some great Desert themed activities that you can try at home:

And or course, no desert themed month would be complete without singing Alice the Camel!

Lyrics:
Alice the camel has five humps.
Alice the camel has five humps.
Alice the camel has five humps.
So ride, Alice, ride.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Alice the camel has four humps.
Alice the camel has four humps.
Alice the camel has four humps.
So ride, Alice, ride.
Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Three..
Two..
One..

Alice the camel has no humps.
Alice the camel has no humps.
Alice the camel has no humps.
'Cause Alice is a horse, of course!
