In Explore the World of Guinea Pigs, host Rory Crawford introduces us to the adorable world of guinea pigs and teaches us how to keep them happy and healthy! Rory explains the different types of fur guinea pigs can have — smooth, wiry, or long — and how to set up a comfy hutch for them with soft bedding, hay, and fresh water. Learn about their favorite snacks, like dandelion leaves, and the best ways to care for these friendly pets! This video is excerpted from BBC’s My Pet and Me, a children’s show that introduces kids to the rewards and responsibilities involved when having a pet.
Cats. Dogs. Potbellied pigs. Kids LOVE pets. We've taken this high-interest topic and pulled together some amazing teaching resources for grades 2-5 — starting with this printable pet report flip book! We recommend having students take notes and then create a draft before using the template for their final copy. Each flap will focus on a different aspect of pets: appearance, habitat and home setup, diet and feeding, care and exercise, and fun facts. Students will answer questions on each page and draw or paste a visual that connects to the text. To assemble, students cut and stack the pages in order, then attach them at the top with staples.
Hint: Watch one of our amazing My Pet and Me video clips to get students inspired and to get information for their reports!
