LET'S PLAY
Interactive activity
In this activity, the child will first watch a video about how seeds grow into fruit. Then they will test out different items on screen to see if they will help a plant grow from a seed.
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 draw a picture of a plant they’ve seen.
Knowledge check
Have the child describe their drawing to you. What did they draw? Where did they see it? What did it need to grow into a plant?
