Colorful Squares

Worksheet Description

The “Signs of Life Scavenger Hunt” worksheet is a dynamic activity designed to engage students with the natural world around them. The worksheet presents a neat grid of squares, each containing the name of an animal, insect, or common outdoor sight. The activity encourages students to observe their environment closely throughout the week, with the goal of spotting and coloring in the squares for each creature or person they see.

The variety of life forms listed includes common birds like a “Cardinal” and “Blue Jay,” animals such as “a BIG dog” and “a deer,” smaller creatures including “a worm” and “a snail,” and even human-related sightings like “a child playing outside” and “a person in their yard.” This wide range offers students numerous opportunities to connect with and appreciate the diversity of life that surrounds them daily. As they find each item on the list, the coloring aspect of the worksheet adds a fun, artistic element to the task, making it a creative and educational experience. The scavenger hunt not only promotes outdoor exploration and observation skills but also cultivates an awareness of the vibrant ecosystem in which the students live.
