Kids + Games = Fun!
I love games of all sorts, so I decided to create some for you! Have fun!
- State Birds Wordsearch Puzzle. This large puzzle contains the state birds for all 50 states! It's a challenge. Use my field guides "Birds of North America," east and west versions, to learn more about these birds.
- Dragons and Damsels Wordsearch. I wrote an article about dragonflies and damselflies for the Just For Kids page in the Birmingham News and fell in love with these beautiful insects and their exotic names. A friend saw this puzzle and thought it was the names of dragons and damsel characters from fantasy novels.
- Birds of the Southeast Crossword Puzzle. This is a simple crossword puzzle with only six state birds.
- Match the Beach Birds. Match pictures of 5 common birds on Gulf Coast beaches with their names.
- Beach Stuff. Read my book, Going to the Beach, then have fun picking which items to pack for a beach trip.
- Dead Log Alive! Checklist. My book Dead Log Alive! looks at some of the many plants and animals that use a tree after it dies. (Teachers: Try this for a fun, hands-on science activity--Take a large plastic bin into the woods and shovel up a piece of dead log with the underlying earth. Let students probe the log to discover the life within, under and on the wood. This funsheet will provide a starting place for their discoveries.)
- Jo's Peanut Butter Balls. George Washington Carver asked God, “Why did you invent the peanut?” Then George got to work--inventing over 300 things with peanuts. I think God answered his question, don’t you? Here is a recipe you can make with peanuts. Discover what you like best as a coating.
- Discovery Peanut Butter. George Washington Carver was not the first person to invent peanut butter, but since he re-discovered it, peanut butter has been a favorite food of kids. Just like Carver experimented with peanuts, you can experiment with different flavors as you make your own peanut butter.
- Chimp's Termite Mound. Jane Goodall learned many things about chimpanzees. She saw that chimps often use tools to help get food. You can pretend you're a chimp fishing for termites with this fun recipe!
