We’ve dropped off all the animals at their homes. Now it’s time for me to go back to the station and rest. Bye bye!
Animal Home Matching Game: Create a set of cards with pictures of animals and another set with pictures of their homes. Mix them up and ask the children to match each animal with its correct home. Encourage them to explain why they think each animal lives in that particular home. This will help reinforce their understanding of animal habitats.
Build a Mini Animal Habitat: Provide children with materials like clay, sticks, leaves, and small boxes to create mini models of animal homes. For example, they can build a bird’s nest using twigs or a spider’s web with string. Encourage them to think about what materials animals might use in nature and why those materials are suitable for their homes.
Observation Walk: Take the children on a short walk around the school or a nearby park. Ask them to look for real-life examples of animal homes, such as bird nests or ant hills. Encourage them to observe quietly and discuss what they see. Ask questions like, “Why do you think the bird chose that tree for its nest?” or “How do you think ants build their hills?” This will help them connect the lesson to the real world.
