The Birding Bundle is a free, comprehensive resource designed for educators, parents, and nature enthusiasts looking to engage children in bird-watching and bird language education. At its core is a four-level progressive curriculum built around the “Sit Spot” activity, which encourages observation, reflection, and deeper understanding of bird behavior. Each level gradually introduces new skills, including written and oral recording, mapping exercises, and group discussions to uncover the hidden meaning behind bird activity.
To support educators, the bundle includes a Common Core curriculum standards alignment document, making it easy to connect bird-watching lessons to K-3 grade-level learning objectives. Additionally, students can use a Bird Language Symbols page to help them take notes in the field, making observations more engaging and accessible. For a smooth and successful bird-watching experience, the bundle also provides a “Bird Watching Tips & Tricks” guide, offering practical advice to help both educators and children get the most out of their time outdoors.
Whether you’re a classroom teacher, forest school leader, homeschool parent, or simply someone who wants to foster a love for nature in children, this resource is designed to support and enhance the bird-watching experience for learners of all backgrounds.
