Praise for Insects & Bugs Fun Fact Cards

Here’s what teachers and parents said:

“My kids loved reading a few of these each day during our insect unit! I even found out some cool facts.”

“So excited about these! I am a third grade teacher and we are in the middle of our plants and animals unit. We are currently focusing on classifying animals and my students are animal obsessed. They ask me to Google different animal-related topics every day, so I know they will love these fun facts. I love that your cards include real photos along with the fact. Thanks!”

“Perfect way to start out our “buggy” themed school year!”

Activity Ideas for Insects & Bugs Fun Fact Cards

These cards are used multiple ways by teachers and parents including:

• Morning Time, Morning Basket, or Circle Time Quick Fun Fact – Read the fact card each day and store them in a small basket where the students can look at them again and again. Or keep the set on a ring.
• Fact of the Day Bulletin Board – Read a fact each day and display the cards on a special bulletin board or foam board.
• Hallway Display – One teacher displayed them on the hallway chalkboard outside her door so many students and adults could read them.
• Calendar Pocket Chart – Put a fact behind each number on the calendar and have a different student take it out each day. You can then display on bulletin board.
• Geography Extension – Put the cards on a wall map with a string that points to where it ties in.
• Go Fish – Create two sets and use for a game of Go Fish.
• Memory Game – Create two sets and use for a Memory Game.
• Scavenger Hunt – Use the cards to create a Scavenger Hunt.
• School Bulletin Board – One kindergarten class had two students take the fact of the day down to the office each morning, “teach” the fact to the office staff, and then display the cards on the office bulletin board for everyone in the school to see.

The cards are 3×3 and there are 6 on a page. I made them small so they easily slide behind your date cards on the calendar pocket chart. They are also a good size for small hands if using them for a game. I also made them smaller to find the balance between making them colorful, but not taking too much ink when you print them.

The cards are unnumbered so they can be used in any month and in any sequence. You can use all the cards in the set or only a portion. This provides maximum flexibility for the teacher’s schedule. Use one set all month or use parts of two sets depending on your needs.

Also included is a hyperlinked list of the relevant websites where the facts were located.

One teacher shared:

“My kids are addicted to reading these facts cards every morning. If I forget to read one, they are sooo quick to remind me. And the parents are learning too! During conferences, I had many parents tell me how much they had learned from their children when we read the apple and pumpkin cards. Thanks!”
