Animal migration has fascinated humans for millennia. In this migration lesson plan your class can track the amazing journeys some birds make as they cross continents, countries and oceans on their migration journeys.

Migration lesson plan

This resource is suitable as a one-off class activity, or you can extend it into a larger debating, creative or homework project.

The materials are aimed at primary-aged children. You can easily adapt and differentiate them for your needs so you can use them across the Key Stages.

By tracking the migration journeys of various birds your children will be able to learn and name different countries, continents and oceans and find out about the vast distances these animals cover. They’ll also learn more about how and why animals undertake these incredible journeys.
