Definition | What are ‘fish’?
(This description of the meaning of the word ‘fish’ is appropriate for 2-7 year olds)
Fish are amazing creatures that live in water and come in all shapes and sizes! Some fish are tiny like a little goldfish you might keep in a bowl, while others can be as big as a car, like a whale shark. They have shimmering scales that can be bright colours like orange, blue, and even rainbow! Fish can swim super fast using their fins and tails, and they breathe through special gills that let them take in oxygen from the water. Some fish live in oceans, while others can be found in rivers and lakes. Isn’t it fun to think about all the different kinds of fish swimming around in their watery homes?

Have great fun with your children whilst all pretending to be beach items with this set of 8 Beach Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

Pack of animal cards with sorting labels. Ideal for use as part of an interactive display or sorting activity or game. Differentiate for use with different ages of children by your selection of activity cards, the vocabulary you use and your use of questioning. You may like to select e.g. the headings ‘4 legs’, ‘2 legs’ and ‘0 legs’. Place them on the floor or a table and discuss with your child(ren) which animal cards should be placed under each of the headings. For some headings such as ‘Eats meat’, ‘Eats plants’ and ‘Eats both’ you may like to create your own venn diagram by using two hoops/looped skipping ropes on the floor or circles on paper which overlap in the middle. The 2 separate components go in each hoop e.g. ‘Eats meat’ and ‘Eats plants’ and the overlapping centre is where both characteristics are true. In this case ‘Eats both meat and plants’. If none of the characteristics mentioned are true for an animal, the animal card may be placed outside of the circles. This sorting activity is a great way to encourage children to observe animal characteristics closely. The active engagement with the subject matter means they are more likely to retain knowledge for example new vocabulary. Can you think of any other ways to sort these animals? Perhaps you could make your own heading cards?
