From our teachers' playbook

Moo, oink and where our food comes from

What do kindergarteners learn about farming?

Kindergarteners learn that farmers grow plants and raise animals that give us food and other things we use every day. Milk comes from cows, eggs from chickens and wool from sheep, and crops like corn, wheat and apples grow in fields and orchards. They learn the names of farm animals and their babies, what farmers do in each season, and how food travels from the farm to the store. They also sort animals that live on a farm from ones that live in a zoo. The click moment is when a child realizes their breakfast cereal started out as a plant in a field.

Our favorite ways to teach farming in kindergarten

Farms are full of animals, sounds and food, so this unit practically runs itself. Here is how we add the learning.

Farm to table sort

Bring in milk, eggs, bread and an apple. Kids match each food to the animal or plant it came from. Holding the real thing makes the connection concrete.

Why it works: going from real objects to pictures to symbols is a core recommendation of the U.S. Department of Education's elementary math guide.

Draw the farm

Kids draw a farm with three animals and one crop, then tell a partner what each one gives us. Drawing slows them down enough to notice details.

Why it works: pairing a picture with each word gives kids two ways to remember it, a well-tested principle of how people learn (Mayer, 2009).

Animal picture flash

Flash farm animal cards and kids shout the name, the sound and what it gives us. A two-minute round each day builds vocabulary fast.

Why it works: a big review of study methods ranked quick self-quizzing among the most powerful ways to remember (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Questions we hear about farming in kindergarten

What do kindergarteners learn about farms?

They learn about farm animals, crops, what farmers do and how food gets from the farm to our tables.

What do farm animals give us?

Cows give milk, chickens give eggs, sheep give wool and bees make honey. Kids love matching each animal to its product.

How can I teach farming at home?

Visit a farm or farmers market, or look at the labels on food in your kitchen. Ask, "Where do you think this came from?"

What is the difference between a farm animal and a zoo animal?

Farm animals are raised by people for food or work, like cows and chickens. Zoo animals usually come from the wild, like lions and giraffes.
