Make Way for Ducklings activity
I was trying to come up with a great Make Way for Ducklings
(links marked with an * are affiliate links)
I don’t have a lot of pictures of this activity because they did it while I was reading the story. Okay, I have one, taken afterwards. I went to this page and printed off one of their map pages. As I named the places in the story they found it and drew how they got there. Unfortunately that page has been taken down, so here is a link to a Wikipedia map you can print out. (it’s not as good, but it will work).
This was a great activity because it was a struggle for my kids to figure it out the directions, and a great review for the older kids of cardinal directions. My kids really loved it!
Here’s some additional Make Way for Ducklings activity links I found:

A state book? What a great idea!
I know! They also have a state children's author, who you'll hear more about Monday (probably).
This is an awesome idea. We have this book, so I might try it out.
I love this idea! Now this would be something that I know Selena would love.
This is a wonderful post. I love the map idea and the lapbooks look great. I love the official state categories…state book!
What a cool unit! The Make Way for Ducklings statue in the Boston Commons is one of my favorite local landmarks =)
Ki likes maps.
oh, and Texas is the BIRTHPLACE of Amtgard! there are tons of amtgard parks there, google it!!
We always take pictures with the statues when we are in Boston. Also, every year on Mother's Day weekend there is a Make Way for Ducklings parade following the route from the book. Lots of little kids dress up as ducklings – it's super cute.
