Today we will learn about snakes.
Snake Facts
All snakes can bite you. It is best to just LOOK, not touch.
Some snakes are poisonous. They can make you very sick and
you will need to go to the doctor right away.
Most snakes are NOT poisonous. They just hurt when they bite.
Snakes eat lizards, birds, fish, snails, insects, small mammals
and other snakes.
Snakes smell with their tongues. The snake’s tongue is “forked”.
Snakes lay eggs.

Gross Motor/Outdoor Play -
Cycling
Riding on a tricycle, bike, or balance bike is good for young children’s gross motor skills. But there are a number of simple gross motor activities they can indulge in at the same time to increase the benefits:
- Lay out fun roadways or mazes for your child to navigate.
- Let them play delivery driver by setting up a shop at one end of your space and waiting for your child at the other. Have them take your “order,” ride to their store, and bring you back your item.
- For safety, use a backpack for your child to carry items in.

Music/Movement -
All the Snakes (To the tune of London Bridge)
All the snakes are slithering,
slithering, slithering.
All the snakes are slithering,
across the grass.
All the snakes make a hiss,
makes a hiss, make a hiss.
All the snakes make a hiss,
and smile at the sun.
Snakes smell with their tongues,
With their tongues, with their tongues.
Snakes smell with their tongues,
and they can smell you!
