'Adopt' a Tree

Share

Take a walk outdoors with your students. Choose a tree for the class to "adopt." During the year, try various activities with "your tree."

  • Find out how many children (holding hands) it takes to encircle the tree.
  • Take a picture of your tree in each season. Hang the pictures in your classroom so children can view the changes.
  • Discuss with children what animals might live in the tree.
  • Talk about what products come from trees.
