I am preparing a lesson plan and the theme is a sunflower.?

Question

I need ideas for gross motor skills and social studies for k4-2 grade.

Answer 1

With gross motor skills, you mean drawing? and/or coloring?

In that case, why not draw a big simple one yourself on the blackboard (or whatever you have) and let them "copy" and color it. You can put arrows to certain parts with words, such as "Stem" , "Leaf" , "Flower" , "Seed" etc.

Then you can pass along sunflower seeds to the kids to see, and if you can, a 'real' one , or a dried one they can take apart to see how the seeds grow.

If you want to make them really happy, you can give them some roasted sunflower seeds to eat (check if there are known allergies)

Answer 2

Gross motor - act out the growing of a sunflower (down small for the seed, growing taller for the flower)

Social Studies - grow a sunflower, discuss where they grow & what they are used for.

Answer 3

See if any of these websites have ideas...
