As a class activity, make a night scene using black cardboard as a backdrop. Make a moon, burrows and resting places for daytime animals that sleep during the night. Have children make images of night active animals to include in the scene. Extension Play the Bat and Moth game. Echolocation works by the bat emitting high pitched sounds that bounce off their prey so that the bats can determine where they are for capture.
Students make a bat cave by forming a circle.
Nominate one student who pretends to be a bat.
