EMPOWERING ACTIVITY
American Falls, Bridal Veil Falls, and Canadian Falls are waterfalls that all come together to form Niagara Falls, as if they are working together! People work together too to help each other create things that they may not have been able to make on their own.
Find a partner, and together, try to draw a picture on the worksheet!
Click on the worksheet to print, or draw on your own paper.
One person will draw while the other person guides them. Without showing the artist what to do, describe any details and give directions on what to draw. Switch roles after your drawing is complete! When drawing, pick one of the boxes on the worksheet and write your name above it.
The waterfalls named above unite to form the big and impressive Niagara Falls, just like how you and your partner worked together to draw something that otherwise may have been difficult to do by yourself!
Working together as a team and communicating is important, and together we can do so much more than we can do alone!
