This fun lesson uses the Bluey episode "Race" as the kickoff to a classroom conversation about what it means to run your own race. It's important not to compare ourselves with others, and we also need to learn how to cheer on our friends. The lesson includes printables for three activities in which kids complete a maze to help Bingo, Bluey, and Mum on their own paths to learn different skills, cheer for each other as they complete different tasks, and make cards for someone who's been working hard.
Baby Race Episode Summary: Mum reminisces about Bluey and Judo as babies. Bluey learned to roll over first, but Judo was the first to crawl, so then it became a race to see who was going to walk first!

In A Baby Wildebeest's First Steps, narrator Gordon Buchanan describes how a wildebeest is born on the savanna, which stretches across almost half of Africa and is home to millions of animals. The baby wildebeest immediately begins learning to walk. By the end of the day, it is one of the fastest land animals. The wildebeest uses speed, constant movement, and safety in numbers to avoid predators. This video is excerpted from BBC's Animal Babies, a heartwarming show that follows the first breaths, first steps, and first feeds of some adorable baby animals, revealing the challenges they face to survive in some of the toughest but most beautiful places on the planet.
Get ready for cuteness overload with this heartwarming playlist of baby animal videos! Watch ducklings wobble, elephants splash, wildebeests race, seals snooze, and otters play with endless charm. Perfect for captivating your class while sneaking in a little science, these clips will have your students saying “aww” while you say, “This totally counts as learning!”
Everyone loves a nature walk! Take your PreK–Grade 2 students outside to observe the world around them. With these worksheets on a clipboard, you can make your nature walk more focused and a true learning experience (in addition to being loads of fun!).
- Nature Walk Scavenger Hunt: Students look for a leaf, flower, bird, and more. They can check off each item they find and then color them when they get back to the classroom.
- Nature Walk Observations: Encourage your kids to draw and write what they see on their nature walk.
- Nature Walk I Spy: Challenge your students to find something that smells good, something round, something tiny, something rough, something green, and something that flies.
- Nature Walk Report: When you get back to the room, have your kids draw and write about what they saw on their nature walk.
Join Bluey and Bingo in the great outdoors. Match close-ups to the right bug (walking leaf, dragonfly, and ladybug), put leeches in size order from smallest and biggest, and fill out a fun spotting chart on your next nature walk. Can you find a plant, creature, bird, and stick or pinecone? Draw them!

The greatest stories of all time are true. On this thrilling Walking With Dinosaurs Virtual Field Trip, Grade 3–8 students will meet six iconic dinosaurs emerging from incredible digs. Ready to get started? Send your class directly to the Interactive Map to begin the field trip! Be sure to print and give a copy of the Paleontologist Field Journal to each student. You can also find a full lesson plan and more in our Teacher Guide.
As students explore each dinosaur and dig site combo, they can record their findings in this Paleontologist Field Journal. For each site, students will fill in:
- Dig Site Observations: Answer questions about the Visit the Dig video.
- Fact File: Using information from the Meet the Dinosaur video and your own research, fill in all the boxes.
- Coloring page: Color the detailed scientific drawing of the dinosaur.

You'll need to print this double-sided. Select the option to flip on the long edge. To assemble the journals, students will stack the double-sided pages together, fold in half, and staple along the short edge.
Come along on a prehistoric adventure! When you share this Interactive Map with your students, they'll get kid-friendly directions for how to explore. They can click around the six different dig sites (each featuring one incredible dinosaur), where they'll watch a pair of videos and take a quiz. Make sure you've also printed copies of the Paleontologist Field Journal for them to record their findings. It's all part of our Walking With Dinosaurs Virtual Field Trip!

In Guanaco Calves Learn to Walk, narrator Gordon Buchanan explains how calves must learn quickly to stand, walk, and run as predators, like the puma, lurk near where they are born on the open grasslands of Patagonia. Their long legs make this difficult at first, but playing chase helps them build the skills needed to escape predators. This video is excerpted from BBC's Animal Babies, a heartwarming show that follows the first breaths, first steps, and first feeds of some adorable baby animals, revealing the challenges they face to survive in some of the toughest but most beautiful places on the planet.
In Patagotitan — The Largest Animal to Walk the Planet, naturalist Steve Backshall explores this seriously huge dinosaur and its massive heart, which measured over 6.5 feet (2 meters) in circumference. Plus, watch an experiment take place to visualize just how powerful the Patagotitan’s heart had to be in order to pump blood throughout its body. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Deadly Dinosaurs, a documentary series in which host Steve Backshall is on the hunt for the deadliest animals to have walked the Earth — dinosaurs — exploring features of several species and putting their abilities to the test to reveal the raw power of these creatures.
In How to Walk on Coals and Not Get Burned, host Greg Foot explores the chemical reactions that create fire, and the qualities of fire when it comes into contact with water that make it possible to walk across coals and not get burned. This video is excerpted from BBC’s Secrets of Everything, in which daredevil science geek Greg Foot is ready to try anything to get the answers to life’s weirdest questions.
