Dolphin Challenge

🐬🌊✨

Get ready to dive beneath the waves in this exciting Dolphin Discovery Adventure, where we’ll explore the amazing world of dolphins and their ocean relatives!

Dolphins are intelligent, playful marine mammals known for their incredible communication, acrobatic jumps and friendly nature. Throughout this fun 5 week block, children will learn fascinating facts about dolphins and cetaceans through creative crafts, tasty food activities, games and interactive challenges designed to spark curiosity and imagination.

Each week brings a brand new dolphin themed adventure, helping children learn about marine life in a fun, engaging and hands on way.

Pawprint badges are a brilliant, creative way for children to work towards an end goal. Your child will complete the activities and earn their badge virtually. If they’d like to collect them, badges can also be purchased from the Pawprint website - but this is completely optional.

Here’s what we’ll be getting up to each week:

🐬 Week 1 - Introduction to Dolphins We’ll begin our underwater adventure by learning all about dolphins! What makes them mammals? Where do they live? How do they communicate? We’ll discover fascinating dolphin facts before creating a beautiful Dolphin Under the Sea Silhouette painting using bubble art.

🌊 Week 2 - Craft This week we’ll get creative by making our own Leaping Dolphin Craft inspired by dolphins jumping and splashing through the waves.

🐟 Week 3 - Food Time to become ocean chefs! We’ll make delicious Fish Finger Sandwiches while chatting about what dolphins eat and how they hunt for food in the wild.

🎲 Week 4 - Games Get ready for lots of dolphin themed fun! We’ll play games including Simon Says, 'Friend or Food?' where we decide whether something is a dolphin species or dolphin dinner, a dolphin Kahoot quiz and some simple acrobatic exercises inspired by dolphins’ amazing movements.

🐋 Week 5 - The Cetacean Family In our final session, we’ll explore the wider cetacean family, learning about whales, porpoises and dolphins. We’ll compare different species and create our own fascinating cetacean fact files.

I can’t wait to dive into the wonderful world of dolphins with you and see all the fantastic creations, discoveries and fun along the way.

See you soon for our Dolphin Discovery Adventure! 🐬🌊
