Voyageur Songs and Vocabulary
Playing 'Les Voyageurs'
We set up our chairs to make a giant canoe and we paddled down the river. We sang voyageur songs and paddled until our arms were tired. Suddenly, we hit some rapids and lost a few little voyageurs who fell overboard! The next time we came to some rapids, we portaged by carrying our canoe over our heads. It was a long and hard trek. Next, we spent a night sleeping under our canoe (tables) for shelter, and we rose to face the river again. Oh, the life of a voyageur!
Making Bannock
We measured and mixed ingredients, listened to and followed directions, took turns and worked together to make real bannock. We thought it was very cool that we were eating like real voyageurs. The kids especially loved kneading the dough, and eating the bread with raspberry jelly.
