Houston’s Go Texan Day brings Western wear into classrooms and communities. Invite children to look for hats and boots and talk about what they notice. This six-page printable set gives children ages 4–6 short, hands-on activities for Pre-K, kindergarten, or home.

WHAT’S INSIDE

1. Western clothes and a horse near a fence

Start by coloring the scene. Ask children to name two things they see.

2. Five cowboy boots above choices 4, 5, and 6

Have children touch each object once as they count, then circle the matching numeral.

CLASSROOM AND HOME IDEAS

A Western dress-up or story center is a good spot to set out a few pages and crayons. Offer one page at a time for younger children, read the directions aloud, and let children explain their drawings or point to the pictures as they talk. For a quick home activity, pair one worksheet with a picture book on the theme.
