Welcome to the Wonderful World of Baby Chicks! 🐣

Objective: Today, we will explore the amazing life cycle of a baby chick! By the end of our lesson, you will understand how a tiny egg grows into a fluffy chick.

Introduction: The Chick Adventure Begins!

Let's take a journey through time! 🎉 Close your eyes and imagine a sunny farm where chickens are busy clucking and pecking at the ground. But wait! What do you think comes first—a fluffy chick or an egg?

In today’s lesson, we're going to learn about the life cycle of a baby chick, starting from an egg and ending with a little chick that loves to chirp!

Story Time: The Egg's Tale 🥚

To start our adventure, let’s gather around for a little story.

The Tale of Charlie the Egg

Once upon a time, on a cheerful farm, lived a little egg named Charlie. Charlie was not just any egg; he was a special egg that was waiting to hatch into a baby chick!

As days went by, Charlie stayed cozy in the warm nest. Can you guess what happened next? That's right! After 21 days, Charlie heard something strange. Tap, tap, tap! Who could that be?

Can you make a tapping sound with your fingers like Charlie?

That tapping grew louder, and soon, Charlie cracked open and... out came a fluffy yellow chick!

Discussion:

• What do you think Charlie felt when he was inside the egg?
• Have you ever seen a chick? What colors did they have?

Activity: Let's Hatch Our Own Chicks! 🌟
