Want a fun and engaging way to teach food chains at KS1? This sequencing science craft activity is hands-on alternative to a food chains worksheet. Children can construct a 4-stage food chains for 3 different habitats - a woodland, ocean/sea and a rainforest.
For each habitat, there are 4 options included:
- Template 1: Colour the food chain template and food chain stages, cut and fold.
- Template 2: Color the template and food chain stages, arrange the stages in order, glue, cut, and fold.
- Template 3: Colour the template, draw/write a 3-stage food chain for that habitat in the boxes, cut, and fold.
- Template 4: Colour the template, draw/write a 4-stage food chain for that habitat in the boxes, cut, and fold.
In addition, you’ll find a blank template included that you can use for any habitat.
Once folded, pupils can hide their food chain by bringing the 2 halves of the template together, then gently pull apart to reveal the inside.
There is minimal prep required. Print the designs you plan to use on paper or card. Pupils need coloured pencils and scissors. One template in each habitat set requires glue.
Instructions for how to fold are included (you may wish to make an example beforehand for those who might find folding tricky).
