List minibeasts that are able to use camouflage to protect themselves from predators.

Classify:

• Minibeasts by their movements: flying, walking, hopping, swimming, crawling, sliding

• Minibeasts by bodyparts (e.g. number of legs), features, colours, protection.

What other ways can you think of to classify minibeasts? Top Tip: This activity can be made into a hands on activity by using minibeasts figurines or print outs of minibeasts to sort into categories.

Choose 5 minibeasts and draw and label the lifecycles of these minibeasts.
