Chicken scratch
Give kids rakes that they can use as chicken feet to “scratch the ground for food.” Let them rake up all of the dead leaves and twigs from garden beds. Don’t worry about damaging any plants that have clung on during the winter; you need to remove any old growth to make way for new buds that will sprout as the weather gets warmer. Put the raked-up debris under shrubs to help keep the roots moist and cool during the hot summer.
