Let’s go on a fun adventure in the meadow! There are lots of animal families living there, and each one has something special to do. Let’s meet them!
In the warm sand under the sun, there lives a kind mother turtle and her little turtle. The mother turtle says, “Wink!” and the little turtle winks back. They have fun winking and blinking in the sun!
In the blue stream, a shiny mother fish swims with her two little fish. The mother fish says, “Swim!” and the little fish swim happily. They love swimming in the blue water!
In a tree, there is a wise mother owl with her three little owls. The mother owl says, “Hoot!” and the little owls hoot too. They enjoy hooting near their tree home!
Near the shore, a brown mother beaver lives with her four little beavers. The mother beaver says, “Dive!” and the little beavers dive and splash in the water. They have so much fun!
In a cozy beehive, a mother honey bee buzzes with her five little bees. The mother bee says, “Buzz!” and the little bees buzz along. They love buzzing in their snug home!
In a nest made of sticks, a black mother crow lives with her six little crows. The mother crow says, “Caw!” and the little crows caw too. They enjoy calling out from their nest!
When the clock strikes eleven, a noisy mother cricket chirps with her seven little crickets. The mother cricket says, “Chirp!” and the little crickets chirp happily. They love making music together!
By the old mossy gate, a scaly mother lizard basks with her eight little lizards. The mother lizard says, “Bask!” and the little lizards enjoy the warm sun. They love relaxing together!
In the quiet pools, a green mother frog croaks with her nine little froggies. The mother frog says, “Croak!” and the little froggies croak and splash. They have a great time in the water!
In a nice little den, a gray mother spider spins webs with her ten little spiders. The mother spider says, “Spin!” and the little spiders spin beautiful webs. They love creating their lacy homes!
Isn’t it fun to see what all the animal families do in the meadow? Each family has its own special way of having fun and enjoying their day!
Animal Actions Game: Let’s pretend to be the animals from the meadow! Choose an animal family from the story and act out what they do. Can you wink like the turtle, swim like the fish, or hoot like the owl? Ask a friend or family member to guess which animal you are pretending to be. This game helps us remember what each animal family does for fun!
Nature Walk Adventure: Go on a nature walk with a grown-up and look for animals or signs of animals, like nests or tracks. Can you find any animals that remind you of the ones in the meadow story? What do they do? Draw a picture of your favorite animal from the walk and share what you learned about it with your class or family.
Animal Sound Match: Listen carefully to the sounds around you, either outside or using a sound recording. Can you hear any sounds that match the animals from the meadow? Try making the sounds yourself, like buzzing like a bee or croaking like a frog. Discuss with your friends or family why animals make these sounds and how it helps them in their daily lives.

**Rock ‘N Learn**
Over in the meadow
In the sand in the sun
Lived a kind mother turtle
And her little turtle one
“Wink!” said the mother
“I wink!” said the one
So they winked and they blinked
In the sand in the sun
Over in the meadow
Where the stream runs blue
Lived a shiny mother fish
And her little fishes two
“Swim!” said the mother
“We swim!” said the two
So they swam and they swam
Where the stream runs blue
Over in the meadow
In a hole in a tree
Lived a wise mother owl
And her little owls three
“Hoot!” said the mother
“We hoot!” said the three
So they hooted and hooted
Near a hole in the tree
Over in the meadow
In a lodge near the shore
Lived a brown mother beaver
And her little beavers four
“Dive!” said the mother
“We dive!” said the four
So they dove and they splashed
By the lodge near the shore
Over in the meadow
In a snug beehive
Lived a mother honey bee
And her little bees five
“Buzz!” said the mother
“We buzz!” said the five
So they buzzed and they hummed
In the snug beehive
Over in the meadow
In a nest built of sticks
Lived a black mother crow
And her little crows six
“Caw!” said the mother
“We caw!” said the six
So they cawed and they called
In their nest built of sticks
Over in the meadow
When the clock strikes eleven
There’s a noisy mother cricket
And her little crickets seven
“Chirp!” said the mother
“We chirp!” said the seven
So they chirped cheery notes
When the clock struck eleven
Over in the meadow
By the old mossy gate
Lived a scaly mother lizard
And her little lizards eight
“Bask!” said the mother
“We bask!” said the eight
So they basked in the sun
On the old mossy gate
Over in the meadow
Where the quiet pools shine
Lived a green mother frog
And her little froggies nine
“Croak!” said the mother
“We croak!” said the nine
So they croaked and they splashed
Where the quiet pools shine
Over in the meadow
In a nice little den
Lived a gray mother spider
And her little spiders ten
“Spin!” said the mother
“We spin!” said the ten
So they spun lacy webs
In their nice little den
