There are so many ways to teach children about the ocean. Here are a few engaging ideas that will help you teach your kids about ocean life while keeping them learning at the same time.

OCEAN MOVIES FOR KIDS

I love incorporating videos into our lessons whenever possible. They’re a great way to break from the books and worksheets that typically fill a science lesson.

I also save them for rainy days or sick days that may crop up during the unit. Here are a few ideas:

• A Turtle’s Tale: Sammy’s Adventures
• Finding Nemo
• Amazing Ocean

OCEAN ACTIVITIES

Young learners love hands-on activities, and they help little ones engage with the topic at hand. When studying the ocean, you can add one or more of these activities to your to-do list:

• Ocean Themed Snacks for Kids
• Fish Crafts for Kids
• Ocean Slime
• Parts of Ocean Animals Labeling Worksheets
• Ocean Dot the Number 1-20
