What is the
circle of
Life?
It is a saying that refers to a cycle that
all living things must go through.

• They are born

• They grow
• They reproduce
• They get old
• They pass away

For Example…
 We all begin in our
mother’s womb…

Then we all start out as

babies…

And then we
grow…
And Grow…
 And as the circle of life goes, we
reproduce and have our own families.
Until we get very
very old,

And then we
must go.
This isn’t just for humans, this is for
every living thing.
Especially animals!
Animals go through the life cycle too!
 All animals go through changes
