Now, let’s pretend to be some living things and move like they do!
A cheetah is a living thing. Can you run, run, run fast like a cheetah?
A flower is a living thing. Can you stretch up tall and grow, grow, grow strong like a flower?
An eagle is a living thing. Can you flap your arms and fly, fly, fly so high like an eagle?
A turtle is a living thing. Can you paddle, paddle, paddle and glide like a turtle?
A frog is a living thing. Can you hop, hop, hop up like a frog?
A snake is a living thing. Can you slither, slither, slither smooth like a snake?
Every day, look around and see all the living things. They are everywhere, doing amazing things!
Living Things Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt in your backyard or a nearby park with a grown-up. Look for different living things like plants, animals, and insects. Can you find something that breathes air, something that needs water, and something that eats food? Draw a picture of each living thing you find and share what you learned with your friends!
Plant a Seed: Plant a seed in a small pot with soil. Water it regularly and place it in a sunny spot. Watch it grow over the days and weeks. Keep a journal with drawings of how your plant changes. What does your plant need to grow? How does it change as it gets bigger?
Animal Movements Game: With your friends or family, play a game where you take turns pretending to be different animals. Can you move like a cheetah, a turtle, or a frog? Think about how each animal moves and what makes it special. Why do you think these animals move the way they do?
