This lesson includes two activities.

In the first activity, students pretend to be parent birds searching for “worms” around the classroom to feed to their baby birds. In the second part of the activity, students pretend to be baby birds and will stay seated in their “nest”.

Prepare Your Pretend Worms

Each student will need to find three "worms" so that they can feed three baby birds. We suggest cutting pink yarn into 3-4 inch pieces, but these don't need to be precise.

Hide Your Worms Around the Classroom

You can choose how easy or difficult you'd like to make the worm search for your students! You can create a 'worm station' if you'd like to make one central area for where to find the worms. Or you can hide them in easy-to-spot locations around the classroom. Or you can create an additional challenge by making them difficult to find. The choice is up to you!
