Let’s talk about owls and introduce two new vocabulary words, Nocturnal and Diurnal. Talk about what the two mean but keep it simple. Nocturnal: active at night or awake at night and asleep in the daytime. Diurnal: active in the daytime or awake in the day and asleep at night.
Ask the children if they are Nocturnal or Diurnal making sure that you say what the meanings are again. Ask the children to tell you what the two mean. Throughout your time learning about owls talk about the two new vocabulary words. You can even pretend you don’t remember the meaning and have the children tell you. They love to feel important and they like the feeling that they remembered something that you “forgot.” Check the Games & Play tab above for a Nocturnal Activity Idea and then click here for the templates!
Have some pictures of different types of owls, what they look like, the colors they are and the important information of each one of them. You can find some books at the library or print out some pictures with their information and think about which owls your children would be interested in learning about. Have the children tell you about what they see in the pictures and elaborate on what they are talking about. Also you can show them where they live (you may want to have a map showing where you live and where the different owls live and compare it to where they live). This website is full of some great information about owls, Idahoptv.org.

This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:This is a perfect time to talk about the Bible and how to use it. You can show the children your Bible so they have a better understanding of what a book, chapter and verse are. You can say:
“The Bible is one big book made up of many smaller books. Each book has a name. Today we are learning a Bible verse in the book of Genesis. When you find Genesis in the new testament look for the number 18 at the top left or right of the page, this is the chapter. You will see Genesis 18. We are looking for verse 4, and those numbers are much smaller under the big 18.”
After they are done coloring they can hang their Memory Verse Coloring Sheet up in a special place. Then when your child walks by the sheet they can work on memorizing the Bible verse.
