Preschool Ocean Themes & Kids Ocean Lesson Plans For Kids:

This Pre K Ocean Theme Lesson Plan needs to be kept simple. The Ocean is so vast and informative that we can overwhelm the children with too many details, facts and other pieces of educational information.

-Stick to whales, dolphins, sharks, starfish, seahorses, sand dollars, and just fish in general, stay from naming all the different types because that will be overwhelming (have pictures of what you are talking about and have the children describe what they see)

-Plants that live in the ocean: Seaweed, and corals (have pictures and talk about them)

-Have pictures of the ocean, ocean related books, ocena themed toys, puzzles, and items for the sensory bin that relate to this pre k ocean theme lesson plan (fill the sensory bin part way with water and add some blue sparkles in the water with the water animal toys and sea creatures.)

-Talk about how the bottom of the ocean is covered with sand, sea shells, plants and rock, and how some fish can crawl along the ocean floor such as star fish and other ocean creatures.

-Have a class pet or pets by getting a small aquarium that will hold 2-3 fish.

-Name the fish, make it like an ocean home for them by putting gravel on the bottom, shells, some plants for hiding and color and even the pretend corals found in fish stores.

-The preschool children can take turns feeding the fish, make a chart and keep track of their feeding, have one child feed the fish a day, and clean the aquarium as a class project once every couple weeks.

Explore whatever other educational materials you can find on the ocean and ocean life and have fun!
