Antarctica: Learning About Penguins

February 23, 2013 By Seemi

 As part of our continued study of Antarctica, we have been talking about Penguins.

Preschool and Montessori activities for learning about Penguins

 

Penguins Reader

 Here’s a cute little Penguin book I found for beginning readers.  I printed out one copy on blue paper for the class.  I will be binding it together into a book for the shelf.   You can get it at Kindergarten Crayons.

 

 The Seven Penguins of Antarctica

Identification Cards- Trillium MontessoriThese penguin identification 3-part cards that I made are inspired by jojoebi.  This set works pretty well with the Safari Penguins Toob although I had to adapt a few of the penguin models to get a better match!

We’ve been loving this Seven Penguins song by Mr. I & Gary!

Penguins and Their Chicks (Free Printable Download for subscribers)

Chicks Matching- Trillium Montessori

I made these cards for matching adult penguins with their chicks.  The control card shows the adult and chick together.  I added an extra control of error on the back with some color coding stickers.  You can download my set here.

Parts of a Penguin

 3-Part Nomenclature Cards and DefinitionsThese Parts of  a Penguin cards are from the Montessori Printshop.   The children can color and label their own pictures.   I think I will bind the definition cards into a book.

Life Cycle of a Penguin

Life CycleHere’s a link to this lovely book by Gail Gibbons about penguins (pictured above) – her text and illustrations are always so engaging.

Drawing a Penguin!

Drawing Guide- Trillium Montessori

The kids LOVE these instructions for drawing a penguin!  This is a page from a step-by-step drawing book I found on the bargain shelf at the local book store. Here is a similar tutorial from charcoals.net that you can print out for your own classroom. 

I’d love to hear what others have done with their Penguin studies!  Please comment below!
