A fun activity to do with preschoolers is to discuss the hatching sequence of birds. Then for math, get pictures of a bird (chick) hatching, laminate them, and have the children try to put them in order. Put the correct sequence numbers on the back so that they can check and make sure that they are correct. Our group loved trying to hatch the chicks and to see detailed pictures of the hatching process. check out these sites for pics. http://www.msichicago.org/exhibit/chick/

and this is where I got my pictures- http://www.poultrysupply.com/poultry/hatch.html

Children match eggs to a bird in a nest. Have a bird sitting in a nest with a number on its wing. The children will place the correct number of eggs in the nest. Could also be used as an alphabet matching game.

One child is chosen the be the mother bird. The mother needs a gummy worm. Blindfold her. Have a baby bird move quietly around the room and find a spot to roost. The baby bird must tweet to tell the mother where it is. Once the mother finds the baby she can give it the gummy worm! The baby is now the mother and another child is chosen to be the baby.

Blue bird, blue bird through my window.

Children stand in circle, holding hands, arms up...windows are open. One or two blue birds are in center. As you sing the song the birds weave in and out the open "windows". Sing as follows:... Blue bird, blue bird through my window, blue bird, blue bird through my window, blue bird blue bird through my window. (children bring down arms to close window)....oh blue bird aren't you tired. Birds want to stay inside circle as windows are being closed. You can change the name of the birds to fit with you theme....e.g. blue jay, cardinal, sparrow, etc.
