Description

In this board game (which is perfect for literacy rotations) students race around a loop, trying to be the first to get all 5 of their caterpillar body sections. They earn sections for every healthy food choice they land on, and lose them for the sometimes foods.

This game was created as a part of Teach This’ Very Hungry Caterpillar unit. It is designed to help you bring an exciting range of cross-curricular activities into your classroom to go along with this classic story book. In the unit students will sequence the story, assemble sentences, count their way through fruit, make healthy eating decisions, and learn a little bit about how hungry caterpillars turn into beautiful butterflies.
