If a bee finds a source of food, the bee will fly back to the hive and tell the other bees how to find the flower. Eplain to children that bees communicate with each other using a dance. Hide different silk flowers somewhere in your room. When you say,"Where are your wings, little bees?", let the little bees fly around in the room. Repeat with other body parts such as eyes, tongue, and legs. Explain that the little bees will learn about their body parts and as soon as you ask them about their wings they can fly around the room until the school bell rings (demonstrate the little bell ringing).Ĭall out "Where are my bees?" Let children stand up and say, "Here we are!"Īsk, "Where's your head, little bees?" Children point to their heads and say, "Here's my head."Īsk, "Where's your thorax, little bees?" Children point to their chest and say, "Here's my chest."Īsk, "Where's your stomach, little bees?" Children point to their stomach and say, "Here's my stomach."Īsk, "Where are your wings, little bees?" Children flap their arms and say, "Here are my wings."Īnd let them fly around until you ring a bell to gather back in the circle. Have children sit in a circle and let them pretend to be little bees in a classroom. To reinforce the parts of a bee, play this fun game with your children. The pollen gets rubbed off on other flowers which pollinates the flowers (fertilizing them and producing seeds). The three body parts are the head, thorax, and abdomen (the tail end). Bees eat nectar which they turn into honey. As the bees fly from flower to flower to collect nectar, pollen from many plants gets stuck on the bee's pollen baskets (hairs on the hind legs). Like all insects, bees have six legs, a three-part body, a pair of antennae, compound eyes, jointed legs, and a hard exoskeleton. Honeybees are social insects that live in hives. The children can carry the yellow pom-poms to the different flowers to pollinate them. Let children pretend to be bees collecting nectar to bring back to the hive to make honey. Let children make a meadow and build a bee house.ĭramatic Play Center: Cover a table with a yellow bed sheet to make a beehive. Place some silk flowers with yellow pom-poms around the outside of the hive.
