Who lives where? Garden microhabitat activity An activity where children arrange minibeasts into the garden micro-habitats they would live in. This resource includes: A3 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels) A4 printable garden (with and without microhabitat labels) 12 common minibeasts to place in the garden Minibeast ID sheet Guidance notes on how the resource could be used, including follow up questions to explore together. Microhabitat foldable craft A fun craft activity for younger pupils, designed to get them thinking about microhabitats and the animals that live there. This resource is a 6 page PDF. It looks at 3 microhabitats; a rockpool, under leaves and a flower bed. There are 2 templates for each microhabitat so they can either colour the animals already included or research and draw their own. Print on A4 paper or card. Once they have coloured a template, children can cut it out and fold using the instructions provided. Some children may need assistance with this part and it’s a good idea to have a pre-made example. Once folded, they can then ‘hide’ the animals away by closing the template, and then pull it gently apart to reveal what’s inside.

Set your class the challenge of completing 7 days of kindness! Ideal for a World Kindness Day activity, or for a school kindness week or month. Print an activity sheet for each child.
