Join in the fun with these Buzzword activities from the Pittsburgh Festival Opera, Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre, Carnegie Science Center, and Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy.

BREATHE

Follow along with Ms. Delana from Pittsburgh Festival Opera to learn the Breathe song. This song will help you remember to take a DEEP breath when things don’t go your way. This song will help you count to ten when you are sad, mad, or upset.

 

MATCHING GAME

It's so fun to move like different animals do, and there are many animals that live DEEP in the ocean. Play this matching game from Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre to learn each animal and dance them out!

DOWNLOAD THE MATCHING GAME

Continuing activity:
Ask your child the following questions, and then have them dance out those animals too!

  • - What other animals live in the DEEP sea?
  • - What animals burrow DEEP into the ground?

 

EXCAVATION

Many different things can be found DEEP in the ground: worms, treasures, and dinosaur bones! The Carnegie Science Center offers ways for you to become an archeologist and dig for your very own dinosaur. An archeologist is someone who studies prehistory through digging up bones and materials that have been buried DEEP underground.
