A free family activity · Read, notice, draw
Make a Helping-Pair Drawing.
Different jobs. Same team.
You’ll need: paper, crayons or a pencil, and someone to wonder with.
Wonder
What made the clownfish look lost? What clue changed your mind?
Investigate
Reread pages 3–6. Find what the clownfish did more than once.
Learn
Name one way the anemone helps the fish, and one way the fish can help the anemone.
Draw two ways to help
On paper, draw the clownfish and its anemone. Add an arrow each way to show their different jobs. Then draw two people who help each other in different ways. Leave real habitats unchanged.
Wonder together
How are the two jobs different? What does each partner receive?
Grown-up note: “Friends” is a story word for a partnership that can benefit both animals. Make discoveries on paper and leave real habitats unchanged.
