Objective: To spark curiosity and excitement about insects and bugs!
Gather the children in a cozy circle, surrounded by soft cushions, to create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Start off by telling them a magical story about a little bug named Benny the Butterfly.
Here’s the story format you can use:
Once upon a time in a colorful garden, there lived a little bug named Benny. Benny was not just any bug; he was a butterfly who loved to explore!
One sunny day, Benny decided to flap his beautiful wings and see what adventures awaited him. As he fluttered from flower to flower, he met many fascinating friends - a busy ant, a hopping grasshopper, and even a shy ladybug!
Benny learned something special from each of his friends:
After sharing the story, invite the children for an exciting "Bug Hunt Adventure." Prepare small bug cutouts of various insects (like ants, butterflies, grasshoppers, etc.) hidden around the classroom or outdoor area.
Once the bug hunt is complete, gather the children back in the circle. Provide coloring sheets and crayons featuring different insects. Encourage them to choose their favorite bug from the story (or the ones they found) and color it as beautifully as they wish!
Wrap up the lesson by asking a few questions:
Finish the lesson with a short song about bugs or a fun insect-themed dance, inviting everyone to join in! This will help solidify their new knowledge and ensure they have a memorable experience learning about the wonderful world of insects.
Can you fly just like a little bug? Jump around and wiggly-wiggle, Let’s explore the garden with a hug!"
Have fun exploring the incredible insects together, and remember: every little bug has a big story to tell! 🐞✨
