Penguin Preschool Activities, Games, and Lessons
Preschool and Kindergarten Penguin Crafts, Activities, Lesson Plans, Games, and Printables. Penguins range in size from the fairy penguin which only gets about 9 inches tall to the emperor penguin which can reach heights of up to 3-4 feet. Although penguins are birds, they do not fly, at least not in the air. Penguins spend most of their time underwater looking for dinner (fish, squid, krill, and crustaceans). All penguins live below the equator, from the Galapagos Islands to Antarctica. That's why you'll never see a penguin and a polar bear together, except on the Coca Cola commercials.

Penguin Activities
On Top of an Iceberg
(Tune: On Top of Old Smokey)
On top of an iceberg,
All covered with snow,
I saw my first penguin,
And I wanted to know.
Oh, is it a bird,
Or, is it a fish?
I looked at his feathers,
And knew which was which.
I said, "Mr. Penguin, which species are you?"
He said, "I'm an emperor, and not a gentoo."
I said, "Mr. Penguin, what's under your patch?"
He said, "It's an egg, it's ready to hatch!"
I said, "Mr. Penguin, oh, where is your wife?"
"She's out in the ocean, she'll be back tonight."
Said Mr. Penguin, "Her name is Jill.
She's out in the ocean, feeding on krill."
The next thing I knew, I heard a small peep.
And I saw a chick, at the emperor's feet!
Emperor Penguin Egg Walk
Explain that emperor penguins have to carry their eggs and babies on their feet. This is not an easy task. Have children take off their shoes and try to walk around with an egg on their feet. (Make an egg out of a white sock filled with rice or cut a big egg out of white paper.)

Make Penguin Snow Sculptures
Have children create snow penguin sculptures and paint with snow paints. (Mix food coloring and water and fill small containers with the mixture.) Children will enjoy exploring the effects that the paint makes on the snow.
