June Activities for Kindergarten and Elementary Education

Check out several June activities, ready to print and work with students from Elementary School and Early Childhood Education.

The origin of the Festas Juninas is pagan. Even before the Middle Ages, celebrations announced the summer and winter solstice and honored the gods of nature and fertility. The church ended up joining the festivities giving them a religious character, as it could not end its popularity.

In Portugal, due to the coincidence of dates, it started to commemorate São João, calling it the partiesladyines. In the Portuguese country, the Festa de São João in Porto is very famous and attracts thousands of people who celebrate in the streets every year.

In Brazil, June festivities were introduced by the Portuguese in the colonial period and, since then, the commemoration it was influenced by African and indigenous cultures and, therefore, it has peculiar characteristics in each part of the Brazil.

The rustic parties, as they are also known, are typical of the northeast region, where the biggest São João party in the world takes place in Campina Grande, in the State of Paraíba.

June Activities for Kindergarten and Elementary Education - Jokes and Dynamics

donkey's ass game

• This game is a lot of fun. We use a donkey drawn from wood or cardboard. The participant must, blindfolded, place the tail on the donkey in the right place. The participant must be rotated a few times to lose the reference.

dropping cans

• Just place several empty cans on a wall. Participants try to drop the cans by throwing balls made out of socks. Whoever drops the most cans wins.

elegant mail

• Play organizers serve as intermediaries in delivering tickets with messages of love, friendship, flirting or just play.

tallow stick

• This game is almost always present at all Festas Juninas. Party organizers place a large tree trunk in the ground. Some type of wax or ox tallow is passed on this trunk. On top of the tallow stick, a gift of value or a bill of money is placed. The game is interesting, as most participants are unable to climb and slip.

pot breaker

• A fine ceramic pot is filled with sweets and candy. This pot is tied to a wooden beam. The participant (usually a child), blindfolded, and armed with a long wood will try to hit and break the pot. When that happens everyone can run to get the treats.

Egg on spoon race
