    Session 5. Monarch Migration
    Objective: Students learn that monarch butterflies spend the
    winter in the mountains of Mexico, then fly back to the USA in the
    summer.
    Outdoor Migration Game - Highlands School Soccer Field and
    the girl
    Students divide into 4 groups for a relay game. One group goes to
    each of these 4 stations.
    • Mountains of Mexico
    • USA Gulf Coast
    • USA Great Lakes
    • USA North Carolina
    Students at the Mountains of Mexico put on their wings and girl
    butterflies pick up eggs (ping pong balls).
    Students at all other stations stand in line at the beginning of their
    crawl tubes.
    The game at the Gulf Coast, Great Lakes and North Carolina
    stations proceed in the same way - girls deposit their ‘eggs’ in the
    bushel basket, all students crawl through the tubes (larva/pupa),
    students done wings at the end of the crawl tube and girl
    butterflies pick up ‘eggs’.
    The Mountains of Mexico station is different - there is no basket
    and no crawl tube. The students spend winter in the Mexican
    Mountains (shiver, shiver) and then fly onto the Gold Coast.
    The game continues until all students have spent time at each of
    the 4 stations.
    Classroom activity to reinforce the Monarch
    Migration:
    • Students color in a ‘dot-to-dot’ monarch
    migration on map of North and Central
    America.
