to describe what food or product each animal contributes to the farm.

Instructional Technique:

o Demonstration
o Individual Work
o Technology
o Class Discussion

Instructional Material:

o Computer
o Blank sheet of paper from their own notebooks
o Pen
o Magnet or blue tack

Procedure: Introductory Activity will be having a group discussion about what animals the students think
live on a farm and what they think the animals contribute to the farmer and his family. The students will
speak out what each animal makes.

Step-by-Step:

1. Have a discussion with the students about what animals they believe live on a farm.
2. Introduce farm animals to the student
3. Have them go to the Farm Animals (website).
4. Go through each question writing down the main part of the question as a study tool; EXAMPLE
– question one asks, “What farm animal has black or brown spots and provides milk for the
farm?”
5. They would right down “black or brown spots, provides milk” on their white lined paper.
6. When they get the answer correct, they would write down which animal that was next to their
notes. Ex: COW

Activity: Give each student a copy of the farm animal matching game (front and back!). Ask the students
to match the farm animal in the left column with the food or material it produces in the right column by
drawing a line. Ask students to identify each animal and the corresponding product. Older students should
identify and write a word or sentence as a caption for each of the pictures.

Evaluation: Check and assist the student from the activity. Give reward

Closure: Sing “Old Macdonald had a farm” song and invite student for next day

Homework: Go home and research more on your favorite farm animal. Talk about that specific animal.
We will come to class on Monday and everyone will share what they search!
