The Very Hungry Caterpillar Story by Eric Carle
Say three things you learned about insects.
Insects have:
- Head, Thorax, and Abdomen

Play an action game about insects.
Instead of playing a game we sing the Insect's body parts(Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”)
Insect Body Parts
Head (Point to head.)
Thorax (Point to chest)
Abdomen – abdomen! (Point to stomach)

And eyes (Point to eyes.)
And mouth (Point to mouth.)
And antennae, two (Stick 2 fingers up)
Six legs (Wiggle 3 fingers on each hand.)
And there’s an insect for you!
