Buzzing into Bees: A Fun Introduction to Our Lesson!

Welcome, Little Explorers!

🌻 Good morning, everyone! Today, we’re going to embark on a sweet adventure to learn all about bees! 🐝 Before we dive in, let’s start with a fun and energetic activity to capture our attention and get us buzzing!

The Bee Dance!

Let’s Get Moving!

1. Gather in a Circle: Everyone, please stand in a big circle. Let’s wiggle our fingers like little bee wings!
2. Buzz Like a Bee: Now, let’s take a deep breath and buzz around the circle! You can make your best buzzing sound, “Bzzzz!”
3. Collect Pollen: Pretend you’re bees flying from flower to flower. As you buzz, reach out and gather "pollen" by touching your hands to imagined flowers around you!
4. Return to the Hive: After you’ve collected your “pollen”, fly back to the middle of the circle and sit down quickly!

Discussion Time

• How did that feel, buzzing like bees?
• What do you think bees do when they fly from flower to flower?

Storytime with Busy Bees 📚

To settle down after our bee dance, we’ll listen to a wonderful story about a little bee named Bella and her adventures in the garden! Make sure to listen closely - we’ll have some questions after the story!

Let's Get Crafty! 🎨

After our story, we’ll be making our very own bees using paper and crayons! We’ll decorate them in bright yellows and blacks. Can you imagine your bee buzzing around?

Conclusion

By the end of our lesson, you’ll know all about why bees are important to our world! Are you ready to buzz into learning? Let’s get started, little ones!
