Lesson Introduction: Cold-Blooded Animals

Objective

To introduce Year 1 students to the fascinating world of cold-blooded animals through an engaging and interactive experience.

---

Warm-Up Activity: "Guess the Animal!"

Materials Needed:

• Animal Cards: Create cards with pictures of various cold-blooded animals (e.g., frogs, snakes, lizards, and turtles).
• A large poster board or whiteboard to write clues.

Steps:

1. Gather the Students: Have all the students sit in a circle on the carpet.

2. Show the Animal Cards: Hold up the cards one by one but face them away from the students. Explain that they will be playing a guessing game with cold-blooded animals!

3. Give Clues: For each animal card, provide fun clues. Use simple descriptive phrases such as:

   • "This animal lives in water and has a long body!" (for a snake)
   • "I can jump and I have webbed feet!" (for a frog)

4. Encourage Participation: After each clue, allow the students to raise their hands to guess which animal you are describing. This will engage them and get them excited about the topic.

5. Reveal the Animal: Once they guess correctly, show them the animal card and discuss one interesting fact about that animal (e.g., "Did you know that a frog can breathe through its skin?").

Transition:

After the activity, explain that today they will learn more about cold-blooded animals, why they are called "cold-blooded," and the unique traits that help them live in their environments.
