How minibeasts move
How minibeasts move: crawling (ants, beetles), flying (butterflies, bees), slithering (worms, slugs), jumping (grasshoppers, fleas), burrowing (earthworms). Counting legs as a first step toward grouping creatures.

- Match a minibeast to its way of moving, for example grasshoppers jump and worms slither
- Count legs on a minibeast and notice that ants have six while spiders have eight
