Bugs! Bugs! Bugs! I love my Insect Unit. Although I teach this unit in the Fall, I know many of you teach it in the Spring. Here's a couple of freebies maybe you will be able to use. The first is a free e-book,
Bug Out. Click the cover to access it. After you read the book let students play the Create an Insect game. You may play a few different ways. Use the true-false question cards I made. Or use the blank cards included for students to research and create their own game card questions. Younger students could just spin to see who could create an insect first. Click
{HERE} or the picture for your copy.
I also let my students create a bug, and we play Insect or NOT Insect. They make a bug and other students must tell whether or not it's an insect based on its characteristics.
I hope you enjoy these activities. Good luck as you continue to create magic in your classroom!
Is this not the neatest site for free books!!!!
