Instructional Ideas

  • Conduct activities outside on a nice day 
  • Print in color and laminate for continued use, and direct pupils to write using washable marker when applicable 
  • Use the activities in learning centers, choosing one activity to offer assistance with, and invite parent and guardian volunteers to lead other small groups 

Classroom Considerations

  • The duration reflects the completion of one activity 
  • Visit the linked website—found at the bottom of most pages—to locate activity directions 
  • Materials vary depending on which activities you choose to implement

Pros

  • Activities provide the option for independent or collaborative learning 
  • Offers a fun-theme of flowers and bugs, great for spring or summer learning

Cons

  • Does not provide written directions for activity pages
