What is a good way to introduce plants to kindergarten students?

I would give them a plant to observe! Have them look at all parts of a plant then move on to explaining.

I find taking students outside, even if just to the hallway for a walk is a great way to engage them! Take the students into the hallway to see the plants in the school, and make their observations. Having them grow their own plant is also a great activity.

A great way to introduce plants to kindergarteners is taking them outdoors and explaining to them what they are looking at. By doing this, you give a name to what they have been looking at for some time now, making it more memorable. This is not only fun for the students, but easy for you (as long as it's a nice day out).
