When Spring comes and Easter is on its way, this is the perfect time to be teaching Oviparous Animals in Kindergarten. Come along to see great and exciting ways to integrate this topic into other subject areas with this teacher’s favorite Print & Play Pack.
Teaching Oviparous Animals in Kindergarten
Let’s start by talking about some simple ways to teach oviparous animals in kindergarten by starting to talk about what oviparous animals are. Oviparous animals are animals that lay eggs. Spring is a perfect time to talk about all things new life, animals and babies, and of course eggs.
One way to teach oviparous animals in kindergarten begins by using picture sorts. Discuss what animals lay eggs. Many students may know some animals that lay eggs, but I am confident that this sort will help them to learn more! Check out this pocket chart sort.
What about Viviparous Animals?
When you teach oviparous animals in Kindergarten, you also need to teach viviparous animals by default. Viviparous animals are animals that give birth to babies. Many learners know that cats and dogs have babies, but the term viviparous may seem too big, but your kinders can say it and use it.
Sorting Oviparous and Viviparous Animals
Another way to work to teach oviparous animals in kindergarten continues with personal sorting printables. Check out this fun and color-rich animal sorting activity that is perfect for pocket chart sorting. We work on the larger class sort together on the carpet. Then, we can work on this printable Oviparous Animal sort. This is a teacher’s favorite oviparous animal printable.
Integration to Writing
Now that your students have dug a little deeper into teaching oviparous animals in Kindergarten, use this opportunity to have your little learners write about it. First, they choose an oviparous animal and glue it down. Next, they write a sentence about it. Finally, they continue. Your little learners will love to pick their own picture and you will find them generating great sentences when they have this ability.
