Today, we’re going to explore the wonderful world of flowers! By the end of this lesson, you will know different types of flowers, how they grow, and how to create your very own flower art!
To kick off our lesson, we’ll start with "The Flower Mystery Bag!"
Gather the Students: Invite the children to sit in a circle on the carpet. Make sure everyone can see you and is engaged.
Introduce the Mystery Bag: Hold up a colorful bag decorated with flower designs. Let the children know that inside this bag, you have some special flower treasures!
Interactive Reveal: One by one, ask a student to reach into the bag and pull out an item without looking. The items can include:
Discuss and Discover: As each item comes out, engage the students by asking questions:
Visual Inspiration: After discussing each item, show a real-life picture of a flower that matches the items or themes from the bag. Use a poster board or a digital device to display vibrant images of flowers like daisies, sunflowers, and roses.
After the Flower Mystery Bag activity, create excitement for the upcoming art project by saying:
“Now that we’ve discovered some amazing flowers, it’s time to get our hands a little messy! We’re going to create our own beautiful flower artwork using paints and colors!”
With the children buzzing with excitement, you can smoothly transition into your main art activity, making sure to emphasize the beauty and variety of flowers as a source of inspiration for their own creations.
