Note! Many of the ideas on my blog would be perfect for children to do at home with their parents. I also hope you'll share this video with them!
I hear spring calling, don’t you? Come out and play! Come out and learn! This Thursday is the "official" first day of spring, so here are some ideas for your lesson plans this week.
Spring-O
Make a bingo card with signs of spring and objects that children can find on your playground. Children can walk around the playground and and color in the objects as they find them. Children could do this activity individually or with a partner.
*Here's a SPRING-O card I made for you. I'm not the best artist so you'll need to go over the words and the pictures with your students.

Scavenger Hunt
Here’s a spring hunt for older students. Divide them into groups of 4 and give each group a clipboard with the items below. Have them record their answers. When you return to the classroom groups can share their results and compare answers.
