Wheels a'turning

In honor of our pioneers, we are making a wagon wheel.  Using a large piece of black paper, cut a large circle, then cut the middle out leaving a large ring about 1 inch thick.  Cut a small circle for the middle of the wheel.  Now cut spokes for the wheel out of brown paper.  (If you would prefer use brightly colored paper for the wheel and spokes -  the children will love the colors!)  Depending on the time, put a phrase from several songs on the back of each spoke.  Have the children guess the song and then sing it.  See how many spokes you can put in the wheel.
