A Day in the Life of a CowboySECURITY BRIEFING —
WORDS OF WISDOM FROM HANK THE COWDOG:
Working on a ranch is hard. Now we all know that being the Head of Security is the hardest job on the ranch, but cowboys work pretty hard too. There are many different jobs for a cowboy to do on the ranch. A cowboy never knows what his day will bring him when he wakes up in the morning. He may have a plan for what he is going to do, but the cattle, coyotes, and horses may not be aware of his plan. No matter what may happen, any cowboy worth his salt will get the job done.
ACTIVITY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Play A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COWBOY board game. 2. The first player will draw a A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A COWBOY - GAME CARD and read it
aloud. Player will follow the instructions on the GAME CARD in order to move his or her "cowboy" (GAME
PIECE) around the board. Players will take turns reading cards and following card directions.
3. The first student to have his or her "cowboy" (GAME PIECE) make it to the "FINISH" of the workday wins the game!
WRAP UP:
Fill out the Bottom Line worksheet after you have completed the activity.
