Give me 10 - Birds - Plants - Year 1

The 'Give me 10!' activity is an engaging and educational task targeted at Year 1 students, designed to stimulate their knowledge and recognition of birds. The challenge is simple yet effective: students are given a time limit of 10 minutes to recall and write down the names of as many birds as they can think of. The activity encourages children to think about the diversity of bird species, including those that are native to their own country as well as exotic birds from around the world. Each correct bird name that a child lists is awarded 2 points, providing a fun and competitive element to the learning experience.

In addition to identifying birds, the activity also prompts students to explore the world of plant biology by asking them to name different parts of plants. This dual-focus task not only enhances the children's understanding of avian species but also connects their knowledge to the natural habitats and ecosystems where these birds may be found. By combining the topics of birds and plants, the activity creates a holistic learning opportunity that encourages curiosity about the natural world and the interdependence of living organisms.
