Instructions
1. Talk about day and night. Name things that we usually do in the daytime, things we do at night,
and things we could do during the day or night. You can also name things we could see during
the day or night.
2. Draw a Venn diagram of two large overlapping circles on the poster board. Label the large part
of the circle on the left "Day" and label the large part of the circle on the right "Night." Label the
overlapping part "Day and Night."
3. During the day, children usually eat breakfast, go to school, and play. At night children see the
stars, put on pajamas, and go to sleep. During day and night children brush their teeth, eat, and
enjoy time with their families. You'll think of many more!
4. Have each child color things they do or see during the day, at night, or both. Cut them out and
place on the class day-and-night Venn diagram.
