  • a place for food and beverages to be served.

Don't forget to get the barn ready for the dance by adding decorations, lanterns and somewhere for the musicians to stand.

Discussion

Think about fairs or carnivals you have visited. What was your favorite thing to do? What would be your favorite thing to do at the fair you just planned?

Continuation

Write a story or draw a picture about a kid just like you going to the fair.
