Today, I’m sharing California educational activities for kids. The activity pack includes a word search puzzle, fact sheet, and famous places in California. I’ve also include coloring pages of the state flower, state bird and state animal.
California Educational Activities:
First, I created a word search puzzle. You can also find the information listed in the word search in the California Fact Sheet. The word search includes the state bird, state flower and other historical facts.
You can expand your lesson plan by having your kids do research. For example, what famous places are in California? I’ve put together a list of famous places for you, if they research they can learn more about each place. For example, a famous place in Disneyland. If they research, they can learn the differences between Disney Land and Disney World.
Kids can have fun coloring the picture of California’s state bird the Quail. The California Quail is also known as the Valley Quail. It was adopted as the official bird in 1931, and recommended as the state bird by the Audubon Society. Quails travel in conveys of 2 to 200, but break out in pairs in the spring. The female lays 6 – 28 creamy white eggs with brown spots.
Next, California’s state flower is the Golden Poppy. The Golden Poppy is known as the California Sunlight or Cup of Gold. It blooms from February to September.
The grizzly bear also known as the brown bear is California’s state animal. The grizzly bear has been extinct since 1922 in California. There are approximately 500 grizzlies in the state now; however, there is talk about reintroducing the grizzly.
Last, California’s official insect is the Dogface Butterfly. California is its only home, and is sometimes called the Doghead Butterfly.
So, be sure to incorporate these California educational activities into your homeschool history lesson plan or extra homeschool activities. You can download the activity pack here. Be sure to check back for other California activities.
