From our teachers' playbook

From seed to supper, let's go to the farm!

What do kids learn about farming?

Farming helps kids answer a big question: where does our food come from? Young learners meet farm animals, tools and buildings, and discover that milk comes from cows, eggs from chickens and apples from trees. Then they learn how a farm works through the seasons: plant, grow, harvest. Older kids see farmers as producers and connect the farm to the grocery store and their own lunchbox. The click comes when a child holds up a strawberry and says, "A farmer grew this!"

Our favorite ways to make farming stick

Farm units are a favorite for a reason. These moves make the learning last past the barnyard.

Barnyard vocabulary

Show a farm card, say the word together, then add a fact: "Tractor. It pulls heavy things and plows the field." Little ones build vocabulary while learning what each thing does on a farm.

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Why do we need farms?

Start with a quick question: "What did you eat today that came from a farm?" List answers on the board, then have kids show what they know on paper. The worksheet becomes a check on the big idea, not just recall.

Why it works: researchers who compared ten study methods found practice testing is one of the two that work best (Dunlosky and colleagues, 2013).

Seed to harvest in order

Hand out picture cards of planting, watering, growing and harvesting, and have small groups put them in order. Ask them to tell the story out loud. Sequencing the farm year builds science and storytelling skills at once.

Why it works: playful practice with a clear goal keeps kids practicing longer, and simple learning games have been shown to build real skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Questions about teaching farming

What do kids learn in a farm unit?

Farm animals and what they give us, crops and how they grow, farm tools and jobs, and how food travels from the farm to the store. It connects social studies, science and reading.

What age is a farm unit best for?

Farm themes are a classic in preschool, kindergarten and 1st grade. Older students revisit farming when they study producers and consumers, communities and natural resources.

How can I teach where food comes from at home?

Read food labels together, visit a farmers market or plant a few seeds in a cup. Ask, "Which farm animal or plant gave us this?" at mealtime.

Are these farm worksheets printable?

Yes, every farming resource here prints on regular paper for centers, morning work or homework. Members can download them all.
