The canoeists each use a paddle with a single blade. History: “Canoes were developed over the course of thousands of years by the native peoples of North America. The word ‘canoe’ originated from the word “kenu”, meaning dugout. These seagoing boats were used by the Carib Indians of the Caribbean islands, and were made of large tree trunks which were shaped and hollowed, and were strong enough to travel between the islands. North American Indians are responsible for creating the more well-known version of the canoe – a frame of wooden ribs covered with the lightweight bark of birch trees, and sometimes elm or cedar trees. These boats, which have remained virtually unchanged in design for thousands of years, proved to be ideal for travelling the numerous streams, rivers and lakes of North America.

Rule 4: Get Trained! Be prepared for emergencies Draw yourself beside an overturned boat Draw yourself doing that Activity: Draw what it says besides each square. For example 1. ”Stay with your boat” - draw yourself beside your boat if your boat has overturned.” 2. “Call for help or blow whistle” – draw yourself doing that 3. “Wait for help to come” – draw yourself doing that; draw everything, the surrounding environment: the water, the boat, the quay, the equipment, the radio that was used to call, your parents, other adults present, the sky, the shore, other boats if there are any around. Create the whole scenario. Draw yourself waiting for help to come with the surrounding environment, people, boat, equipment

Rule 5: Always make a Trip Plan “Think about a boating trip that you have been on before or may go on in the future. What were the 5Ws?”

Let’s sing together What would you do if you fall off the boat? Best answer is: stay close to the boat and blow whistle. Each life jacket has a whistle Which life jacket would you wear? Why? Answer: The life jacket that supports my head out of the water, that has a cushion at the back of my head if I lose consciousness.
