Club Activities: Hide and Seek 6s4e1i
In "Hide and Seek," kids explore how animals use the physical structures in their habitats–from the roots of a mangrove tree in Belize to the trunk and canopy of the trees in your neighborhood. These activities were designed as a sequence that weaves together PLUM LANDING media resources, including animations, videos, and games, with outdoor exploration and hands-on activities. Each day offers approximately one hour of programming. 5e3r5o

Then, head outdoors for the hands-on activity Catch Me if you Can. If time permits, wrap up your day by completing the "Explore Some More" ideas listed with both the video and activity.
