cycle of a butterfly.

Materials

Procedure
-
Review
the life cycle of the butterfly. Discuss the 4
parts of the life cycle and how the students could
imitate the stages using their bodies.
-
Have
the students act out the life cycle. Direct them
when to change to the next stage. An example of
body movements would be:
- Egg - curl up in a small ball on the floor.
- Caterpillar - stretch out and crawl around the floor
using arms and legs.
- Chrysalis - make the body small and still.
- Butterfly - stretch out the arms for the wings and
"fly" around the room.
-
These
stages can be set to music to add drama to the
changes.

Other
Lesson Ideas
-
Play
a migration game in which the teacher or a designated
student states, "It's Fall!" and all the
"butterflies" (students) need to run
South. When the phrase "It's Spring!"
is called, the students should run North. South
and North should be designated before the game
begins. This could also be turned into a relay
race in which "migrating" teams race against
one another.
