Move like a Mini Beast!
Go on a mini beast hunt if you can. Look under leaves, rocks and logs – what minibeasts (insects) do you find?
If it is not possible to go out on a hunt, look in books or online. Discuss the various mini beasts – what do they look like? How do they move?
Now challenge your child to move like the mini beasts:
- Scuttle like a spider
- Slither like a snail
- Hop like a cricket or grass hopper
- Creep like a caterpillar
- Flutter like a biutterfly
- Buzz like a bee.
You could extend this by turning it into a game of charades. Your child acts out being a minibeast and you have to guess which mini beast they are!
Can your child draw any of the mini beasts they have found? Can they label their pictures?
