In today’s lesson, we explored the heights of four different animals—giraffe, elephant, monkey, and ostrich—using blocks for measurement. We counted together to determine that the giraffe is 11 blocks tall, the elephant is 7 blocks tall, the ostrich is 5 blocks tall, and the monkey is 2 blocks tall. Great job on counting and comparing their heights, and remember to keep practicing your measuring skills!
  1. How many blocks tall is the giraffe?
  2. Which animal is the tallest: the elephant, the monkey, or the giraffe?
  3. Can you name one animal that is two blocks tall?

Welcome to Animal Heights Fun!

Hello, friends! Today, we are going to have some fun learning about how tall different animals are. We will use blocks to measure their heights. Are you ready? Let’s get started!

Meet the Animals

We have four animals to look at: an elephant, an ostrich, a monkey, and a giraffe. We will see how many blocks tall each animal is. Let’s find out together!

How Tall is the Giraffe?

First, let’s see how tall the giraffe is. We will count the blocks from the bottom to the top of its head. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. Wow! The giraffe is 11 blocks tall!

How Tall is the Elephant?

Next, we need to find out which animal is seven blocks tall. Let’s check the elephant. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Yes! The elephant is seven blocks tall.

How Tall is the Monkey?

Now, let’s see how tall the monkey is. Count the blocks with me: one, two. The monkey is two blocks tall. Isn’t that cute?

How Tall is the Ostrich?

Finally, we have the ostrich. We know the giraffe is 11 blocks, the elephant is seven blocks, and the monkey is two blocks. So, the ostrich must be five blocks tall. Let’s count to make sure: one, two, three, four, five. Yes, the ostrich is five blocks tall!

Great Job!

You did an amazing job counting and comparing the heights of these animals! It was fun to learn together. Remember, practice makes perfect, so keep counting and exploring. See you next time for more fun learning adventures. Bye!

  • Can you think of any other animals and guess how many blocks tall they might be? Why do you think they would be that tall?
  • Have you ever seen any of these animals in real life or in a picture? How did their size make you feel?
  • If you could be as tall as any of the animals we talked about, which one would you choose and why?
  1. Animal Height Hunt: Go on a mini adventure around your home or classroom. Find objects that are the same height as each animal we learned about. Can you find something that is 11 blocks tall like the giraffe? How about 7 blocks tall like the elephant? Use blocks or a ruler to measure and compare. Share your findings with a friend or family member!

  2. Draw and Measure: Draw your favorite animal from the lesson on a large piece of paper. Use blocks to measure how tall your drawing is. Is it taller or shorter than the real animal? Try drawing another animal and measure again. How do they compare?

  3. Height Guessing Game: With a partner, take turns guessing how many blocks tall different objects are before measuring them. Choose items like a book, a toy, or a plant. After guessing, use blocks to measure the actual height. Were your guesses close? Discuss why some objects might be taller or shorter than you expected.

Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Kids Academy! Hello everyone! Let’s open the worksheet. Don’t forget to like this video and subscribe to our channel. You can find the link to this app in the comments below.

Today, we are going to look at a worksheet where we will compare the height of different animals. The first animals we have are an elephant, an ostrich, a monkey, and a giraffe. We will compare these animals based on how many blocks are stacked next to them.

Let’s look at the directions. The directions say to look at the picture and complete the sentences by checking the correct answers.

The first question says, “The giraffe is ___ blocks tall.” Let’s measure how tall the giraffe is by counting the blocks up to the very top of its head. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven. So, the giraffe is 11 blocks tall. We will check the number 11.

The next question says, “The ___ is seven blocks tall.” Since we know the giraffe is 11 blocks tall, it must be either the ostrich or the elephant. Let’s check the elephant first. Count with me: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. The elephant is seven blocks tall. So, the answer is the elephant.

The next question says, “The monkey is ___ blocks tall.” Let’s count how many blocks tall the monkey is. Count with me: one, two. The monkey is two blocks tall. So, the answer is two.

The last question says, “The ___ is five blocks tall.” We already know the heights of the giraffe (11 blocks), the elephant (seven blocks), and the monkey (two blocks). The only one left is the ostrich. Let’s check: count with me: one, two, three, four, five. The ostrich is five blocks tall.

Great job today, everyone! It was a bit challenging to compare all those different animals, but you did an awesome job. I’m really proud of you! I will see you again next time. Bye!
