LET'S PLAY
Interactive activity
In this activity, the child will first watch a video about reptiles. Then they will look at groups of animals and identify which one is the reptile.
Video made possible by Kentucky Educational Television (KET).
After logging into your CLI Engage account, launch the activity by clicking this button. Type the child’s first name and last initial to begin!
Independent practice
At the end of the activity, the child will be asked to make a reptile out of playdough. They can make a turtle, a snake, a lizard, or another reptile.
Knowledge check
Have the child show you the reptile they made. Encourage them to tell you about the features they included, like scales or bony plates.

- After each child’s attempt, print or save their results. This must be done before you exit to avoid loss of results.
