Last week we played a fun game at Morning Meeting called Bat and Moth. The lesson embedded in the learning related to echolocation. We learned how bats are able to locate their meal as they fly through the forest at night. Bats send out waves from their mouth or nose. When the waves hit an object, they bounce back, alerting the bat where it can find a tasty moth! The teacher blindfolds herself, the children hold hands gently in a circle. Every time the teacher says, "bat," a few of the children who are inside the circle respond, "moth." Once everyone gets a chance being in the circle, the game is over. If the moths are too fast (which my little moths tended to be!), the children tighten the circle together. It was just so much joy at the start of the day. Go outside and play!
