  • Ask the children to name some things that are needed to plant a seed (e.g., shovel, watering can, fertilizer, etc.).
  • Ask them what should be done first when planting a seed. Then ask what should be done next, and so on.
  • Act out planting imaginary seeds as a group. Ask the children to retell the steps as they act them out.
  • Discuss what seeds need in order to grow into plants. Act like seeds growing into plants.

Construct

  • Tell the children to build a scene showing what happens to a seed that receives everything it needs.
  • Remind the children to pick a background card that is appropriate for their story.

Contemplate

When the children have finished building, encourage them to take turns sharing
their scenes and telling a story about the seed.

Ask the children to role-play how people took care of their seed to make it grow.
Consider asking questions like:

  • What happened to the seed?
  • What kind of a plant or flower did the seed become? Did it produce a fruit, vegetable, or legume?
  • What did the characters do in the scene?

Continue

  • Talk with the children about gardens. Ask them to describe a garden and what it needs to grow.
  • Ask them to combine their plant models or build new models to create a garden.
  • Encourage the children to use figures to role-play taking care of the garden.
