Choose several interesting illustrations from the book and make enough copies for each child in the class. Provide the children with different colored markers or crayons. Ask the children to circle all of the animals on their page in green, the plants in red, the insects in blue, and food or other items in purple and brown. Provide the children with another sheet of paper listing the different categories they were asked to circle with a space to write numbers. Ask the children to count each group of things and write the number of things they found.
Children can work individually or in pairs.
Invite the class to look through the book together. Assist the children in learning the names for things they are not familiar with. Read our Privacy Policy Statement .
