Hello there! Do you want to play a fun game with me? It’s called “See if you can find me.” But guess what? You probably can’t find me because I’m a chameleon! Chameleons are special little lizards with a magical power called camouflage. Camouflage means we can change our colors to blend in with the things around us.
When the sun is shining bright, we chameleons turn a lovely green. At night, we become a lighter color. If something scares us, we might turn pale, and if we get angry, we become dark green. And if we feel really threatened, we pretend to be dead! Isn’t that amazing? Our colors change with our feelings!
Chameleons are perfectly made for living in trees. We have sharp claws that help us climb, and our tails can wrap around branches to keep us steady. It’s like having an extra hand! We also have super long, sticky tongues that we use to catch our food. Our tongues are as long as our bodies and tails put together! We love to eat insects, spiders, and even scorpions.
So, do you want to play “See if you can find me” again? Maybe not, because I’m feeling a bit too bored to play right now. But it was fun sharing my world with you. Bye for now!
Color Matching Game: Gather some colored paper or fabric swatches. Ask the children to pick a color and pretend they are chameleons trying to blend in. Encourage them to find objects around the room or at home that match their chosen color. Discuss how chameleons use color to hide and why this might be important for their survival.
Chameleon Craft: Provide materials like paper, crayons, and scissors for the children to create their own chameleon. Once they have made their chameleon, ask them to color it to match different environments, such as a green forest or a sandy desert. Discuss how the chameleon’s color might change in each setting and why.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk outside or around the school. Ask them to observe and list different animals or insects they see and think about how these creatures might use camouflage. Encourage them to share their thoughts on why camouflage is important and how it helps animals survive in their habitats.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Hello! Want to play a game with me? It’s called “See if you can find me.” Well, can you find me? Of course, you can’t! That’s because I’m a chameleon. Chameleons are small lizards with a special gift called camouflage. Camouflage means we can blend into our surroundings by changing our color. In bright sunshine, we are a rich green, and at night, we become lighter. When we’re frightened, we tend to go pale, and when we’re angry, we turn dark green. If we’re threatened, we just play dead.
Now you know that when our feelings change, our colors change too! Chameleons are well equipped to live in trees. We have sharp claws and a tail that we can wrap around twigs to use as an anchor. We use our long, sticky tongues to catch our food, which includes all sorts of insects, spiders, and scorpions. In fact, our tongues are the same length as our bodies and tails combined.
So, do you want to play “See if you can find me” one more time? No? Me neither, I’m too bored to play. Bye!
