Instructional Procedure:
Start the activity by asking children when the last time they saw a butterfly was. Ask them whether they have ever seen a caterpillar. Tell them that a caterpillar grows into a beautiful butterfly.
Then, ask them what the life cycle means. Tell them that a life cycle is the series of forms into which a living thing changes as it develops. Give them examples of humans. Like, we are born as babies, then we become toddlers, then children, teenagers and then adults and lastly elderly adults.
Just like different animals, plants and insects have different life cycles. Today, we’re going to learn about the life cycle of a butterfly.
The life cycle of a butterfly is truly amazing. Butterflies have four life stages, the egg, the larva (caterpillar), the pupa (chrysalis), and the adult butterfly.
Keep children engaged in the activity by asking them questions about the stage that you have just finished.
Also, ask them questions like “When was the last time you saw a butterfly?” “Have you ever seen a caterpillar?” etc.
