Podcast¡Ciempiés veloces!
¡Iggy la Iguana comparte cosas geniales que quizás no sabías sobre los increíbles ciempiés!
Datos curiosos sobre los ciempiés para niños
En este episodio del podcast, Iggy the Iguana presenta a los ciempiés: pequeñas criaturas sinuosas, veloces y llenas de patas que viven en todo el mundo, en la tierra, debajo de las rocas, en los bosques e incluso en el jardín. Una pegadiza canción de contar abre y cierra el episodio, con la frase "Uno, dos, me salto unos cuantos, 99, 100."
Los niños aprenden que no todos los ciempiés tienen 100 patas. Algunos tienen solo 30 y otros tienen muchas más. También descubren que a los ciempiés les encanta la oscuridad y la humedad, que corren rápido para esconderse, cazar y explorar, y que ayudan a limpiar el entorno comiendo otros bichitos. Geezer Rat y Pinky se unen con sus datos de "¿Sabías que...?", entre ellos que los ciempiés usan veneno para atrapar a sus presas pero no tienen ningún interés en picarnos. Parrot Parrot cierra el episodio con unas cuantas risas de jardín en forma de chistes sobre ciempiés.
El episodio es una manera suave de hablar sobre la biodiversidad y de por qué hasta las criaturas más pequeñas son importantes, y anima a los niños a sentir cariño por los insectos en lugar de miedo. Iggy sugiere saludar a un ciempiés con la mano y darle las gracias por mantener todo limpio.
Para continuar, pregunta a los niños: ¿cuántas patas creía la gente que tenía un ciempiés y cuál es la respuesta real? ¿Dónde le gustaría esconderse a un ciempiés y por qué? Después podéis hacer una búsqueda segura de insectos en el jardín o en el patio del colegio, mirando debajo de troncos y piedras en busca de lugares oscuros y húmedos, y dibujar un ciempiés con todas las patas que queráis. Recuérdales a los niños que hay que mirar sin tocar.

It's time to start, so here we go. Earth Cubs. Earth Cubs. Earth Cubs. Earth Cubs. Welcome to Earth Cubs.
One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. People think that centipedes have 100 little feet. Here's a fact that's much more true. Some have less and some more too.
One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. Centipedes are superstars, eating bugs from near and far. They're tidying up the forest floor with tiny chomps and legs galore.
One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. One, two, miss a few. 99, 100. They don't like bright. They don't like dry. They scurry where the shadows lie. Under rocks or in the ground, that's where centipedes are found.

Oh, hey there, Earth Cubs. Iggy the Iguana here. You might remember me from such hit songs as Iggy Wiggy Jiggy. Iggy Wiggy Jiggy. Iggy Wiggy Jiggy. Today, we're talking about centipedes.
Centipedes are wiggly, speedy, leggy little creatures that live all over the world, in soil, under rocks, in forests, even in your garden. Centipedes love the dark and damp. It's like a bug hotel.
Now, you might think all centipedes have 100 legs, but they don't. Some have only 30 legs. Some have way more. Everybody's different, and that is super cool.
Centipedes use all those legs to run super fast, to hide, to hunt, and to explore. And here's something else super cool. Centipedes help clean up the planet by eating other little bugs. They're nature's tiny tidy uppers. So next time you see a centipede, give it a wave and say, "Thanks for tidying up."
Hello. Did You Know with me, the Geezer Rat. And me, his cousin, Pinky.
Did you know centipedes don't actually have 100 legs? No way. What are they called centipedes for then? Probably just to confuse us. Some might have as few as 30, others over 300 legs.
Did you know centipedes are super-duper fast? Hey, if I had loads of legs, I could move pretty fast, too.
Did you know centipedes use venom to catch their prey? But don't worry, they don't wanna bite us. I'd still wear my boots if I met one in the dark. Hey, who turned the lights out?
Squawk, squawk, squawk. Joke alert. Squawk. Time for some garden giggles. Here are some centipede jokes.
Why did the centipede wear slippers? Because his tap shoes were too loud.
What game do centipedes love to play? Football, obviously.
Why was the centipede always late? Because he was tying up all his shoelaces.
Time to go.
