Pupils become plants in an interpretive play that depicts what happens throughout the seasons in a rain garden. As you narrate, students bloom, flower, and go to seed accordingly. The activity is first in a series of lessons written for the state of Wisconsin. Over the course of the unit, the class will transform their schoolyard into a thriving, local-fauna landscape. If you live in another state, you should alter the activity to include your own native plants rather than those listed.
