Give me 5 - Garden and Wildflowers - Plants - Year 1

The "Give me 5!" activity is a simple and engaging educational task aimed at Year 1 students to enhance their knowledge of plants, specifically focusing on garden flowers and wildflowers. The students are given 10 minutes to list five garden flowers and five wildflowers, with each correct answer earning them 2 points. This exercise not only helps in reinforcing the names of common flowers that can be found both in managed gardens and in the wild but also encourages quick recall and recognition of the natural flora around them.

In addition to identifying different flowers, the activity also prompts students to explore other aspects of botany by asking them to name the different parts of plants. This could include parts such as the roots, stems, leaves, flowers, and seeds. Furthermore, the activity extends into the animal kingdom by asking students to recall and name various birds. This holistic approach to learning about nature helps to cultivate an understanding of the interconnectedness of ecosystems and the diversity of life that children can observe in their everyday environments.
