Helps
1. Help each child to learn responsibility and care of a pet. (You may purchase a group pet and take turns caring for it.) Talk about what is good for their pet and what foods, toys, etc. are not.
2. Teach the children to be observant of nature and where to obtain help in identifying animals, such as a library or museum.
3. Play games matching animals and their homes. Use a felt animals and homes set, pictures, etc. Explain an interesting fact about each animal, such as when a crab grows, it needs to find a new and larger home; the turtle’s home grows with the turtle; etc.
4. Let the children choose an animal they enjoy learning about. Using a paper plate, draw and color this animal, cutting eyes so they can see out. You may want to tell a story about animals so the children may take part as the animal they made. AND/OR play the animal sounds game: Someone makes the sound and the animal answers and tells what it is, or everyone guesses.
