What color is it? What does it feel like? What is the shape?
Using an egg from the grocery store, have children examine the different parts of it, from the shell to the yolk.įirst, ask the children to gently pick up their egg and take a close look at the outer shell. Have students share their eggs and ask: Where in the schoolyard would your egg best be hidden? What kind of bird do you imagine would lay the egg you designed? You can even play another round of camouflage by having students hide their eggs in the schoolyard to test how well their designs blend in. Whether through painting plastic eggs or coloring a picture of an egg, have students think about the best colors and patterns to use for an egg to hide in their schoolyard. Use what you’ve learned about the best colors and locations to camouflage in your schoolyard by challenging kids to design their own egg. How long did it take them to spot everyone? What were the hardest colors to spot? Were any of the students wearing colors that didn’t work as camouflage in the schoolyard? Explain that some eggs that don’t use camouflage are bright colors like the blue of the Robin’s egg. Have one or two children try to spot the camouflaged students without moving from a central location. Next, go outside to the schoolyard and have children find a place where they are camouflaged. Using the page about camouflage in the book, show students how the egg blends in by having the same colors and patterns as the surroundings. First, describe camouflage as a way for the eggs to hide. The egg of the Sooty Tern uses camouflage to blend in to its surroundings of speckled rocks.
