 Ideas for Activities

  • Watching chickensVisit a chicken farm or watch some short video clips. How do chickens move? How do they look for food?
  • Examining an egg closelyThe children look at chicken eggs with a magnifying glass: What colors, shapes and textures do they notice? A cracked egg reveals the shell, white and yolk.
  • What does the egg carton tell us? Collect empty egg cartons. What information do they contain?
  • Not Just Chickens Lay EggsCollect pictures of animals that lay eggs and make a poster. Where do the animals lay their eggs, and how different do they look?
