This week, the activities will help spark curiosity! Curiosity encourages us to ask questions, seek answers, think critically, find solutions and develop better ways of doing things. It helps us be open to others, build understanding, and foster kindness and empathy.
Observing Animals!
Supplies:
- paper
- pencil
- art supplies
Activity:
Spend time watching an animal (in real life, online videos, or animal cams) and answer these questions:
- Location of observation (where is the animal?):
- Visible characteristics of the animal (what does the animal look like?):
- Behaviour (what is the animal doing?):
Next, draw a picture of the animal you observed! Don’t forget to include the environment.
Resources:
There are many different videos of animals online, but here are a couple that feature interesting animal behaviour:
You can observe animals live, by watching some of these Animal Cams.
