Explain

Explain that children are going to learn about:

What things all animals need.
What homes animals need.
What exercise animals need.
What food animals need.

Model

Ask children: What do you see in this photo? (birds, water, birdbath). Why do the birds need water? (take baths, drink). Proceed to the next slide. Ask children: Do you need what the animal in the picture needs? (Yes, we all need a home.) Say: We need many of the things that other animals need. We need homes, food, water, and exercise. What things do you need that are different from what other animals need? (school, beds, computers, telephones, roof).

Apply

Have children play the games that follow. Have them discuss with their partner the different topics that appear during the Talk About It feature. After the first game, ask children to talk about where other animals live and help the children learn more about the animal homes they are interested in. After the second game, have them discuss why a horse, a bird, and a dog eat different foods and live in different places.
