Why do you think most birds lay their eggs in spring, and not other seasons?
DISCUSS:
Every spring, birds build nests. Why does a bird need a nest?
Can you think of ways having a nest helps a bird?

We suggest students work in pairs.
Students will be lining their paper bird nests with tissue paper and/or other soft material. If you have a high tolerance for chaos, you can put these materials at different stations around the room — and have your students “fly” to the stations to gather their materials. It’s fun, but chaotic.
We also suggest encouraging students to modify the materials you provide -- tearing and crumpling them to make them fit in their nest. That’s what birds do, after all!
Once students are done building, surprise each student with a pompom “egg” for their nest!
