a time and introduce other activities to further explore the animal’s life cycle before introducing the life cycle of another animal. In this case, Step 3 may be a culminating activity after all desired life cycles have been explored. Refer to the chart following the cards on page 83 for the proper order of the stages in each life cycle. To prepare for Step 3, choose two cards for each animal you wish to include in the matching game—a juvenile and the adult—and make enough copies of them so that every child will have one card. For older children you may opt to include all cards in a number of life cycles. In this case, make sure there are enough cards so that each child will have one and that all the children will match up with a life cycle group.
